Sighting Record 1187119
Observation Notes:
Jeromi Hefner, Phillip Wallace, and I observed multiple individuals, flying with Bay and Delaware Skippers (observations submitted separately), along the Blue Goose Trail in Sabine National Wildlife Refuge. We noticed that individuals varied in the pattern and extent of the white stripe on the ventral hind wing; some individuals had the white stripe on the ventral hind wing reduced to slightly elongate spots on one or both sides. The photos in this sighting show two individuals that differ in the size of the stripe.

Location Notes:
The map location shown in the record preview is wrong for the coordinates uploaded; the coordinates point to the middle or southern half of the Blue Goose Trail (along the east bank of Shell Canal) in Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, whereas the map places the marker nearer to the center of the refuge in a location that's inaccessible.
