Observation notes: Time: ~2:45 p.m. Weather: Hot, breezy, and sunny. Notes: This Taxiles Skipper was slowly hovering around at the edge of a neighbor’s lawn, right next to the sidewalk. After catching and photographing it, I released it, and it flew right to the same neighbor’s potted plants to drink nectar/water (his sprinklers were on at the time).
