Within the next several days many flowers will start to bloom on our property. Today, we had a Western and Pale Swallowtail visit one of our Lilac bushes, a Western Tailed-Blue visit our Yarrow and a pair of Juniper Hairstreaks, ssp: Rosner's, visit a flowering maple.

Our first Silver-spotted Skipper has arrived on our property. This is an annual visitor to our yard and we never get tired of its company. At some point, others will show up and they'll duke it out.
