  1. A great list from a state that has many one-and-done species! I'm almost retired myself and spend a lot of time outdoors with birds and butterflies. I'm considering a trip to the UP of Mich in search of Arctics, Red-disked Alpine, Freija and Frigga Frits in Mid-late May and wondered of you had any recommendations. Thanks very much - Matt Orsie, Hedgesville, WV (email: wvbirder@comcast.net) http://wvbirder.org/wvleps
