Sighting for July 1, 2017

Our family farm. The Painted Lady made 22 species seen on the property to date. Began tracking this season. Heavy rains (7 inches over 2 days) made lots of good puddling and we planted two new butterfly bushes which immediately began attracting butterflies. Purple coneflowers really coming on in the garden. Wild nectar sources included black-eyed susan, common milkweed, daisy fleabane and various other wild prairie sunflower/coreopsis varieties.
