Hi Folks,Here are the results from today's Jackson Count. There was good diversity, but individuals were way off. The big highlight for the day was the Long-tailed Skipper. My neighbors got one a little over a week ago in Shelby County, so it looks like the Long-taileds have moved in. Keep an eye out for them in your neighborhood, especially in the morning.
