I finally got around to completing a blog entry about our Concordia
Parish trip. Here's a link for anyone who wants to hear a few more details,
see pics of the butterflies and some moths, or see what else there is to
see at Bayou Cocodrie NWR. Its a good place for butterflying, birding, etc.
Its just out of the way for most folks, so probably doesn't get visited as
much as it should.

Jonathan, rather than go to Tensas Parish next (which has 27 recorded
species, let's look at Franklin Parish with only 13 species. See if you can
identify a readily accessible location w/ a variety of habitats thx,
Craig

Jonathan,
I enjoyed the day as well, particularly after the wet start.Good pics
of the Dukes. Again, I appreciate the locations you picked out. They turned
out to be excellent. Here is the total list, As I told you, I quit
counting Hackberrys, Pearls and Carolina Satyrs and will list them as
A(bundant). Actually, I feel it would be fair to characterize the
Hackberrys as VA (very A ).
1 Pipevine ST
3 E. Tiger ST
7 Cloudless Suls
10 Little Yellows
1 Sleepy Orange
4 Red-banded HS
2 Gray HS
6 Snouts
1 Gulf Frit
17 Phaon Cres
A Pearl Cres
2 Buckeyes
15 Question Marks
11 Viceroys
25 Red-spotted Purples
VA Hackberry Emps
A Caro. Satyrs
1 Silver-spotted Sk
A Horace's DW
9 Trop Checkered-sk
2 Least Sk
1 So. Sklg
7 Cloudless Sk
1 Fiery Sk
8 Duke's Sk (at two different locations)
2 Broad-winged Sk
3 Dun Sk
We saw 15 Horace's, a Red-spotted Purple, some Pearls and at least one
Snout puddling in the parking area for the trail to the Observation Tower.
Then at the boat launch, there was a puddle party of 14 Red-spotted
Purples, 11 Question Marks, 4 Hackberrys, 2 Snouts, 2 Horaces, a Tropical
C-S and a Pearl. Jonathan got some good pics of these parties and I
understand he will post them on his webpage. Check them out. It was amazing
to see all of the Red-spotted Purples.
I'll let everyone know how many new species we added to the Concordia
parish list. Next up, Tensas Parish.
Jonathan, send me a picture of the sedge on which we saw the female Duke's
oviposit. I will send it to Dr. Charles Allen for id.

Hey Craig,
Great time today. Thanks again for coming and I learned a lot. I tried
posting to laleps w/ the photos of the Duke's but the "Delivery to the
following recipient failed permanently", to quote the message I got back.
Maybe it doesn't allow the attached photos or something? Anyway, I'm
attaching the Duke's Skipper photos here for you.
I look forward to seeing the complete list -- I probably have all the
species, but not the accurate total numbers, in my list. I'll upload a
bunch of the photos from today to my flickr account later when I have some
time and share that link w/ you if you'd like to review any of the images.
Thanks again, looking forward to Tensas Parish some point in the
near-ish future.
Jonathan
