Here are the results from yesterday's count at Reelfoot Lake. Really good
numbers for this count and some good finds as well. The female Bronze Copper
laying eggs on curly dock was a real treat, and this is the 2nd year in a row
for this species to be observed on this count. The Phaon Crescents and Eufala
Skipper are county records for Lake County. It was also nice to see the
Broad-winged Skippers back this year. Bart JonesMemphis, Shelby County
