This is a compilation of today’s NBC sightings by about 10 observers. The numbers are as close as I could ascertain when I canvassed them in the late afternoon.
Not on list is a possible 2nd Tailless Scrub Hairstreak. We had a record temperature today and a “cold” front due tomorrow, Highs only in 60s. Both photos have been rotated for a better presentation.
