The Nashville area Fall Count was held on Saturday, October 6 amid record
high temperatures and south winds, which helped to keep numbers down. Total
species tallied were 119, much lower than last year's 132, but higher than the
previous year. Thank you to all the participants who braved the heat to record
some real beauties and interesting finds. Here are some highlights and
lowlights, followed by the entire list.
