Identification of a Comma?

Since I am new to butterflies and their identification was having difficulty naming the butterfly I saw last weekend.Sent off a few photographs to BugGuide and they identified it as a Gray Comma!I then looked at my two butterfly field guides to see if I could identify it with there descriptions.Here's two links from flickr showing notes on identification from my photographs,

And here`s a video of the same butterfly and a photograph taken from there,

Here`s the field guides used,

Two Tortoiseshells!

Was doing a good job of surveying my patch for birds until I came upon lots of enticing butterflies to record on video!Seen a Compton Tortoiseshell,a few Milbert`s Tortoiseshells,lots of Mourning Cloaks and Commas!Was having a hard time recording them due to the glare on the lcd monitor and the flightiness of the butterflies.The glare is going to be an ongoing problem because of habits of butterflies who come out later in the day.As for the birds seen new for the year Pied-billed Grebe and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker were nice and saw 20 Canvasbacks in one pond!

Favorite Butterfly Patch!

Finally some nice conditions for butterfly hunting!Went to some unused land off of Bournais Drive where last summer always saw many varieties.Found over 25 Mourning Cloaks,2 Comma's and 1 tattered Milbert's Tortoiseshell!The cloaks were chasing everything including any birds flying by and me!Was not looking for birds but did see new for the year Winter Wren and Eastern Phoebe!And saw two Woodchucks who use the extensive cement piles as home.Sure do give off a startling warning call!

Green Comma

My first butterfly sighting of the year!Found in a riparian oak forest.Checked out both my butterfly field guides and I am confident that it is a Green Comma!
