I first spotted the Azure on some fresh horse manure on the Sussex Branch Trail. [Moderators: This is the second report of Spring Azure in north Jersey this year and almost certainly a new early date for Sussex County. Steve Buckingham reported a Spring Azure from Hudson County yesterday which eclipsed the previous early date by one day.]
