New Sighting
Met up with Tom Stock to survey for Edwards’ hairstreak. He found three before I arrived at 1000 hours; I observed 5 in small fields with emergent scrub oak. Hazy, mostly sunny, temperature around 90 F. In the field 1000-1130 hours. Nectar sources included red clover and yellow Baptisia.
