1PM to 4PM. Sunny. 82 to 85 degrees.
Exceptional numbers of Dun, N. Broken Dash and Peck’s Skippers. It was impractical for me to make a thorough count. I just counted what I saw and left the others uncounted. It took me 2.5 hours to go 0.57 miles. So many butterflies. I only counted on the way out. 460 individuals in 0.57 miles.
