Below is a list of butterflies I saw during my Carolinas BMP route at the Flat River Waterfowl Impoundment yesterday. Temperatures were in the low 70's, there were some high hazy clouds, and it was a bit windy (~10 mph SW) but I saw a few goodies! The NC Wildlife Butner Depot crews have been conducting some controlled burns at this site over the past few weeks.
