With Don Fraser; a visit to see what was around. We drove only Rattlesnake Camp Road and 3 Bridges Road. Nearly the only nectar sources were some Nuttall's Thistles and several Buttonbushes. All species with multiple records represent different individuals. Every patch of Buttonbushes had one or more Dukes' Skippers; pretty amazing. The weather at the start was sunny and 88 degrees ("feels like" 93), with a light breeze. We left around 1415.

Cockroach Bay butterfly count with Don Fraser and Clint Gibson. We parked at the southwest side of the lake, then walked north along its western side to near its northern end, then turned around. We saw virtually no butterflies or moths, but birds were abundant and diverse.
Species with multiple records represent different individuals; there seemed to be a Black-necked Stilt pair every 250-300 feet. The weather at the start was sunny and 83 degrees ("feels like" 93), with a light breeze. We left at 1045 and headed to Mangrove Point Mitigation Bank.
