Observation notes: Butterfly was perched on a leaf in a prairie patch near mixed woodland on a warm, sunny day. It appeared to be feeding but there was no flower present. An Ottoe Skipper was nectaring on a Liatris flower nearby.

Coordinator notes: Looks like a male H. ottoe to me. Skippers are tough without seeing the underside of the wings, so not 100% sure. Fiery skipper's wing margin should have a more toothed appearance.
