Wheelabrator Refuge, Westville
Gloucester County, NJ

Obs. made between 1:45 & 4:20, sunny 74-76 with 13-15 N winds. Powerline area mowed to the ground. Areas south of the pumping station required climbing through waist high vegetation, but Viceroy & Hackberry Emperor was worth the effort…..I think.
