On Saturday, April 21, we had a good turnout (26) for a walk led by Tom Whelan at Arlington's Great Meadows in Lexington. Unfortunately our streak of cool weather continued making the search for Elfins difficult. Following the trip, seven of us went for a good lunch at the Blue Ribbon BBQ cafe in Arlington and then for a walk along the old railroad track in Acton/West Concord (near Fort Pond Brook) where we saw about 12 Spring Azures, including both marginata and lucia forms.
