It is November 18, 2019. I was surprised to see a Marine Blue nectoring on some small white flowers on a bush in Safeway parking lot in Aptos, Santa Cruz County CA. So fun to see one of the Southern blues that sometimes strays north from Orange County. It was a beautiful blue male, very fresh looking. On Art Shepheros web page he said they sometimes breed out of normal range. But October is the latest month he has listed for northward straying Marine Blues.
