Caribou open space just opened for the season yesterday. It is only open from July through April. Habitat consists of meadows, woodlands and a creek runs through part of it. Lots of flowers. Grass skippers are noticeably absent this year so i was happy to see the Nevada skipper. i was there from 10 to noon. mostly sunny and about 75F.
