Morning birding walk. Sunny, but gusty - forecast said 15 mph - probably
kept the butterflies quieter. Frances A Crane WMA, Falmouth, Cape Cod. May
20.


- Baltimore Checkerspot caterpillar - there were dozens, probably more
in the grass, feeding on the plants. (I did not make note of the species of
plants - next time!) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/363446109
- Pearl Crescent - at least 20, probably more, the most common butterfly
I saw
- American Copper - 4
- Clouded Sulpher - at least a dozen
- Cabbage White - at least a dozen
- Black Swallowtail - 1
- American Lady - 2
- Eastern Tailed-Blue -
1 https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/363444845

I am not 100% sure of the identification of these, and would welcome
corrections:

- Juvenal's Duskywing - at least 1
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/363429948
- Wild Indigo Duskywing - 3-4; these were noticeably smaller than the
Juvenal's: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/363423486
- Northern Cloudywing -
