Clouded Skipper

Hello everyone, Today I took a walk in our county park, Nottingham County Park, that is across the road from where I live. The entrance is four miles, in a semi-circle, away. The area in the park is mostly Serpentine Barrens, mostly thin surface  poor soil with scrub oak and pines. Some other areas have deciduous trees with better soils. For the most part it is a valley setting and has blue stem grass in some areas that is good for some species of butterfly like the Clouded, seen today. Here is a, not so good, pix of a Clouded Skipper. Have a great day, Denis
