New Sighting
Explored the area from 1:40 till 5:30. Mostly sunny and low to mid 80's. Very high water levels. Muck boots would be helpful. Found a nice first brood of Junipers. 30 nectared on a patch of Cypress Spurge. 1 on Autumn Olive, and 6 flying around their E.Red Cedar host. Very poor and highly cropped images of a Painted Lady. American Ladies went from mint fresh to well worn migrants.
[This is our log's first report of painted lady in 2019. May there be many more to come! jc]
