Mostly sunny temp in low 80s. Perdido River WMA has the largest stand of White Cedar in Alabama;but access has been mostly limited to hunter and timber companies.But this spring the area has opened two public areas on the river amoung the cedars.This has produced a very nice sighting of a Hessel’s Hairstreak at the Staplefork Landing;one of the new areas.
