This past Friday went to Sedge Meadow looking for Bronze Coppers. Last
month I noticed that the path around the south meadow had been trimmed
back, and on my return last week I noticed that a path had been cut through
the middle of that field.

I saw 12 Bronze Coppers, mostly one at a time, distributed all around the
meadow. I got photos of about 6-8 different individuals, including male and
female. Some were relatively fresh while others showed significant wear on
their wings.

In the two and a half hours I was there, I saw:

12 Bronze Copper
5 Viceroy
5 Monarch
6 Pearl Crescent
2 Eastern-tailed Blue
8+ skippers, including Tawny-edged and Zabulon, but mostly Peck's
1 American Lady
20+ Cabbage White
15+ Clouded Sulphur
10+ Orange Sulphur

The Cabbage Whites and Sulphurs were present almost everywhere, often in
groups of 2-3 or more.

I plan to go back again on Wednesday morning. Let me know if you'd like to
join me at about 10:00 at the Glezen Lane parking area.
