Butterfliers,

Unseasonably warm, sunny weather combined with a very last minute =
cancellation of some Zoom meetings today let me slip out to Duke Forest =
to run my first Carolinas Butterfly Monitoring Program butterfly surveys =
of the year. While the Orange County route did not yield any leps, I =
was delighted to find 1 Sleepy Orange and 3 American Snouts on the =
Durham route! Considering the multiple well-below-freezing nights we =
have had in the last several weeks, those are some hardy bugs.

Happy New Year!

Jeff
