Steffi thanks for confirmation..!!

They really are - you have to sneak up on them ;). I would guess Eastern-tailed blue, though, as it looks identical to several that I found a few weeks ago: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6419616 and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6460039 . Great photos!

It is a hairstreak, but I will have to catch one with its wings open to determine which type. It is extremely skittish!

Eastern-tailed blue...?
