Hot, humid, and sunny. This area has gone from severe drought to flood conditions in less than a months time.
Powerline Road and entrance road were being mowed today so some of the nectar sources are now gone, but plenty still exist. It was nice to see native Fewflower Milkweed, A. lanceolata, starting to bloom this day. EPerry & RWarner.
