Like Harry Fisher, I also recently had a fun yard day. But
my delight was non-avian. On Sept. 21, while checking my
butterfly bushes, among the many Sachems and Peck's
Skippers I found a Long-tailed Skipper, a first for my yard
in Silver Spring. This sighting made up for the this year's
dearth of avian yard migrants. Has anyone else seen
any Long-tailed Skippers in unlikely places this fall?
