Silvery Blues – Green Ridge State Forest

I needed a break from the yard work and went out to Green Ridge State Forest for a couple of hours in partly sunny skies and temps in the lower 60’s. Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica) and Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) gave color to the still awakening winter landscape. I saw my first spring brood Summer Azures, Sleepy Duskywings, Falcate Orangetips and the stunning Silvery Blue. To my eye the Silvery Blue is on average a tad larger than the Celastrina’s flying about and has a more fluttery flight. I was a nice start to the 2017 campaign.
