Scott and I spent the day counting for the Tennessee River Gorge count. We
covered the area around the Pots House along the river, Prentice Cooper WMA
and a couple of areas in Sequatchie Valley.

It wasn't a great day with only 32 species found but there have been worse.

There were Banded Hairstreaks everywhere including habitat I wouldn't expect
to find them in. 

Most of the Pearl Crescents were in the Butterfly Meadow below the Pots
House and we could have easily missed as many as we counted.

All of the Dianas were on top of the mountain in the Prentice Cooper WMA.
