Two immaculate adult Bonies (LOL)
There was nothing new at the old Blackwell Landfill today (I guess Dickcissels decided not to stop there this year!).
Moore WMA was a bit wet, but near the parking lot I saw both hummingbird moth and snowberry clearwing in the same area.
I checked some spots for Mocha Emerald but had no luck. On some private property along booth Creek, I came across a couple new insects for the year. One was a male Slaty Skimmer, a dragonfly we do not see often around these parts. I recognized it right away, but could not get real close. I have seen them farther north of course, but I recall only seeing one once in this area before.

Nearby, I found a Striped Hairstreak, a FOY, finally.
More butterflies have emerged in the last couple of days such as Red-spotted Purple and Question Mark. The purples were everywhere today!
I also came across this fresh Giant Swallowtail at McKeough.
Several Flag-tailed Spinylegs were flying around McKeough today, as expected.

A Royal River Cruiser was chasing one at one point. Of course I could not get a decent photo.
Big Green Eyes!
Off to another adventure tomorrow.....
