Cool and windy this morning, suppressed butterfly movement in all but the most protected areas; by late morning the wind had calmed and it warmed, and they returned to their normal movements. I found a couple of Palmetto Skipper visiting Blazing Star flowers on Mobile St. today, I was fooled back in June when I found what turned out to Delaware Skippers.
