Here are the results for today's Meeman-Shelby Forest count. We had a great
day with LOTS of Swallowtails. The Phaon Crescents made an appearance, the
first in 3 years for the count. Still not a lot of diversity, but the species
present made a good showing with 1250 individuals, a high number for this
count. Bart JonesMemphis, Shelby County
