The Spring Gladeville NABA butterfly count was held Saturday 4/20/'24.Cool,
threatening weather slowed the start but abundant sunshine during the day
brought temps into the 60s to produce a respectable count. Best of the day in
our opinion was one Dusted Skipper, found by Gordon Revey and Gary Gilpatrick,
see Gary's photo attached. Thank you! to our intrepid participants!
