Hi Folks,Here are the results from Saturday's Clifton Bend Fall Count.  
Considering the heavy cloud cover and thunderstorm that passed through the 
area, we had decent numbers, especially the diversity.  The Long-tailed 
Skippers and Southern Pearly-eye were county records for Decatur County. Bart
