The morning started out cool and it had an effect on the leps, but by noon when things started warming up to about 80, the diversity increased. I was amazed we did not see a single hairstreak. Major nectar sources are Nuttall’s Thistle, Purple Thistle, Pickerelweed, Daisy Fleabane, Sweet Clover, and Bidens alba. Area surveyed was only entrance road and Powerline Road to bridge area.
