Despite high winds and intermittent sunshine, this proved to be a successful 
trip, with four BAMONA candidates submitted.  The photographic highlight of the 
day was a Henry's Elfin, spotted by David:

Tantalizingly seen but not photographed were a Goatweed Leafwing and a 
brilliant blue Hairstreak. (White M?  Early?)

Surprisingly absent were West Virginia Whites, which were abundant in nearby 
Roane and Morgan counties over the weekend.
