The day started off rather cool and it took several hours before we really started to count many butterflies, but boy when it did warm up! Survey time was from 8 am to 5 pm. Major nectar sources included pickerelweed, Nuttall’s and bull thistle, Bidens alba, sweet clover, and daisy fleabane. A good time was had by all. RWarner & EPerry
