Hi All,
Ten members and guest of The Sun City Bird Club and the Carolina Butterfly
Society met at the entrance to the wildlife drive at the Savannah NWR, Jasper
Co., SC at 9:30AM EDT on Monday, 20 August 2007. We spent the next couple of
hours looking for butterflies around the wildlife drive entrance, the office
complex and along the main road. As with most other field trips this year,
the prolonged drought and the high heat greatly reduced the butterfly
diversity and numbers. But I think all had an enjoyable time.
Species list:
Black Swallowtail-1
Cloudless Sulfur-6
Sleepy Orange-1
Gulf Fritillary-6
Variegated Fritillary-3
Viceroy-3
Tawny Emperor-2
Silver-spotted Skipper-2
Least Skipper-10
Fiery Skipper-1
