Two more first ever sightings
This has been a special month in the habitat. It may well be the first time I've had two first ever sightings in the same month. This month I saw my very first Summer Azure and Marine Blue. I was unable to get photos of the Summer Azure but did get shots of the Marine Blue. The funny thing is that this is the very first Marine Blue I've ever seen anywhere. I'm planning to add a new topic with photos of the first ever sightings for the year for ones I got pics of.

Re: Two more first ever sightings
Can't wait to see the pictures.....do you think you saw the Marine Blue maybe because of the weather EVERYWHERE being so different this year?

Re: Two more first ever sightings
It's always hard to say why I see different things show up here. It could be that I have the best bar in town. I have seen very little in the way of flowers for them elsewhere, though the native sunflowers have really started making a strong showing.
It turns out that I've now had 3 first evers this month. I had incorrectly identified one as being something I'd seen before. 3 isn't actually the record either, though it is to be expected that in the first years of keeping records there will be the highest number of first ever sightings. I can say for certain that there were none in 2010. I've been snapping photos like a mad woman to have visual documentation.

Re: Two more first ever sightings
Keeping track of sightings does give me an excuse to be outside more. At least now it isn't so darned hot. Right now I'm one species away from tying last year. My fingers are crossed too.

Thankfully it isn't getting anywhere close to as hot as it had been. We even got more rain, lots of it.

Re: Two more first ever sightings
Well, the rain is definitely a very good thing!
We hit 91 both Saturday and Sunday and supposed to today as well.....but back down to mid 80's by the end of the week.

We've had more rain since and temps are now in the 70s on average.
