Way Out West field trip for the Texas Butterfly Festival. R Ahrens, E Barry, D Dodd, V Dodd, B Driscoll, W Miller, M Sandell, C Sandell, S Vaughn, L Rivera, B Cooper, L Cooper. Weather: 85°, very windy. We recorded 68 species on the festival field trip. This also included 4 Nov when B & L Cooper returned to the same sites plus Roma World Birding Center and Rio Grande City RR tracks with S Moore, B Volke, T Gagnon, and others. Pearly-gray Hairstreak was our #200 LRGV butterfly. Three species added this day. Weather was the same except stronger winds and slightly cooler temps as a front approached with lots of clouds.
