Another check of the power line area of the park for Falcate orangetips, which have been fairly abundant over the last week and a half. The trip lasted from 3:30 - 5:00, with alternating sun and clouds and a temperature around 80ºF. Eight Falcate orangetips (7 male and 1 female) were seen, along with several other species.
