Lizard Trail Swamp ~ Butterfly Hunting

I had heard that in the spring there can be some good butterfly finds at Lizard Tail Swamp before the butterflies start arriving in your yards so I thought I would go over for a walk.  I saw good numbers of butterflies including 2 life butterflies ~ Eastern Pine Elfin & Juvenal's Duskywing.  There were lots of Spring Azures and Eastern-tailed Blues flying also.
