Chippewa County May 15,2017

On May 15, my son David and I took a day trip to Chippewa County, Michigan looking for butterflies. Our main target was Henry's Elfin which we failed to locate. We did however come across
4 species of elfins. We had Eastern Pine Elfin, Western Pine Elfin, Brown Elfin and Hoary Elfin. We had 10 species of butterflies for the day. We concentrated our time along Forest road 3344. The weather was perfect; high around 75 and little to no wind.
