Mostly sunny. Wind 10-14 mph NW. Temps between the high 60s and mid 70s. Good diversity of butters during our birding outing! The Ocola was on sunflowers on the sandy path next to the hawk watch platform and the Aaron's was in the freshwater/brackish marsh on the yellow trail.
[Nice – and the numbers of buckeyes at this bottom of the state site suggests they are migrating. jc]
