Hey Folks,Here are the results for the Decatur County count this past Saturday. The morning started out a little cool and slow, but picked up nicely by 11:00 and turned out to be a great day. It was nice to see the good number of Little Yellows and these were my FOY Gulf Fritillaries. Curiously absent were Eastern Comma and Question Mark, as well as Carolina Satyr.
