Any other places clearly skada?
Washington? Oregon? California?

Doug, can you separate skada from mandan?
Essentially all of our images are on the mandan page from when the page was renamed. We're not sure which should be moved to skada. Appreciate any advice you can give us. Thanks,

I am making the call on this
I am making the call on this one entirely by range. My experience with seeing arctic skippers includes only two locations: Alaska, which is skada by range, and northeast Maine, which is mandan by range. I've never had to try to make the call in someplace like Edmonton or Calgary, where I suspect things get a lot trickier.
