Saturday was an absolutely perfect day and the butterflyin' was good. The
results of the fall count at Meeman-Shelby Forest are below. We had good
numbers of Phaon Crescents and Pearl Crescents; decent numbers of Little
Yellow, Dainty Sulphur and Least Skipper; continued high numbers for Common
Checkered-Skipper; but the best thing was the THREE Ocola Skippers. This
species is seen periodically in the fall, but I had never seen more than one on
any given occasion before. Already looking forward to the 2013 Counts! Bart
