Hi - The Weymouth count was held Saturday, June 5th from 9:30am - 5:30
pm condition were mostly sunny to partly cloudy in the pm with highs in
the mid 80's with fairly low humidity. We had 6 participants. We tallied
41 species with good numbers of Edwards, Coral and a few Kings. Harry
LeGrand added a lot of open country stuff including a dotted skipper,
and pipevine swallotail and little yellow. We had a few misses including
red-spotted purple, southern pearly eye, viceroy. We had great views of
many dragons and damsels, cottmouth, a prairie warbler carrying food,
yellow-billed cuckoo, and a broad-winged hawk in the pm which I have
seen off an on in the same location for about two weeks. It was a good
day - thanks to all who helped.
