Richard, Extremely nice find; the first record for the state in at least 4 years, assuming that all records have been reported, which probably isn't the case, but close enough.

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. http://www.pbase.com/rconnorsnaturephoto/image/127593771 http://www.pbase.com/rconnorsnaturephoto/image/127593746 Richard Connors Nashville
