Mercurial Skipper
Proteides mercurius
On Lantana (of course.)

Hidalgo Co, TX

An uncommon visitor to the U.S, I was fortunate enough to see two this year.  This was the first, pointed out to me, and very cooperative.  The second was less so, and I was alone and had no one to share it with.

1D MkIV
100-400 4.5-5.6 II
Hand held, natural light.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
