On Sunday, June 24, Bob & Nancy Baldwin, Charlie Cameron, Will Cook, Ruth Young and I had a great day under beautiful skies, 65-77 degree temperatures, light breeze, and incredibly large amounts of blooming dogbane, butterfly weed, common milkweed, white clover, and red clover. But few butterflies. We did manage to add Horace's Duskywing to the 59 species previously reported for Yadkin County.
