Observation notes: Four butterflies of this kind observed in meadow next to Deer Park Campground. Seemed to prefer this yellow flower (Yellow Willow-Herb?). Meadow has seeping springs and a small creek so is damp to wet. Grasses, even white Bog Orchids. Day was overcast, warming as noon approached, no wind.
