It was a tough day to count in Sat., July 11. Very hot and dry, but we
were interrupted mid-day by storms coming through the area, with cloudy
conditions. Even though I got out after the rains, butterfly activity
was not extremely high after that. We had two parties out. Here are the
totals I have at this point. When all photos are looked at thoroughly,
we may add 1-2 species.
