Observations made from 9:15 - 5:45. Mostly Sunny 74-80 degrees and strong N winds. Abundant Common Milkweed, and Buttonbush the main attraction today. Folded wing skipper diversity down. Also notable was not a single Hackberry specialist flying today. Wind made photography frustrating. Found one Monarch cat.
