Sighting for August 2, 2022

John and Nancy Crosby

Sea Way NE, Shellman Bluff, GA
McIntosh County, GA

97 degrees, sunny. Still seeing new species since we had over 12” of rain in 3.5 weeks but none in a week now. This is our second Queen in a few days, we’d not ever seen one here on the SE GA Coast previously and it looks so fresh I don’t think it could have migrated far! And just look at all that pollen on the Eastern Tiger!
