I was excited today to discover this longtail butterfly
as I was ever-so-reluctantly leaving the oasis this afternoon. I thought it was a Zilpa Longtail, which wasn't a new oasis species, but still exciting. So when I got to town and Brian ID'd it as a male
Dorantes Longtail, I got excited all over again. It was along my road in a big bushy
American Threefold (
Trixis californica).
Just had to go service my feeders and start my November lists. Had my first oasis Anna's Hummingbird for the season, plus a pair of Lucifer Hummingbirds, and several Rufous. One archilochus, which I think is a Ruby-throated.
