Spent most of the day at Laurel Run Park and Phipps Bend Wildlife Preserve
in Hawkins County. Had a good day, despite the fact that many of the areas
I've been finding productive over the past few weeks are quickly drying up.
Some areas at Phipps Bend that were very wet this time last year are so dry
the vegetation crunches as you walk across it. Was lucky to get a lifer
near a wet seep on a wooded hillside at Laurel Run Park, the Gray
Petaltail. Impressive.
