I’ve seen a lot of Skipper butterflies in our yard and on the trails this summer. Like many Skippers, the Dun Skipper is most easily observed while it is necturing. “They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections,” which you can see in the photograph.
There are over 3500 species of Skippers recognized. Have you ever seen a Skipper?
I love the reflections of the boats at Rock Harbor when the waters are still. This one was so pretty in the early morning when there was no one around.
Coast Guard Station, on the National Seashore, is looking pretty good lately with its new makeover well on its way. You an see all the work that been done to it and the people working on it now. Wow!
