August 18, 2010 Eagle Lake Refuge, Shelby County TN
 
Visiting  Meeman Shelby SP Tuesday and Wed. I stopped off at Eagle  Lake 
and got a lifer butterfly, before the monsoon rains set in. Bronze  Copper, 1 
male, was on what looked like Prairie Mimosa (Desmanthus  ill.?). From what 
I could determine this is only the 3rd county record  for this northern 
beauty.
