Palmetto Skipper
This is the Kissimmee Prairie Sanctuary NABA count and takes place inside the state park. Area is extremely wet from above average rainfall beginning in May. Heavy rains at 2:30 p.m. brought the count to a stop but not before we got some quality skippers on the list including this photo of Palmetto Skipper. Ten participants on the count.
