Coordinator notes: No butterflies seen in Bakersfield yet this year by me anyway. Some of your records will appear in the 2024 Season Summary and the 2023 Season Summary was published about a month ago. Thanks for sharing your many good finds! Channel Island records are difficult because I have no way of checking all possible records out there for those islands!-Ken Nick Grishin considers the Santa Cruz Island Skipper a full species but I don't think that has been conclusively proven yet.
