--000000000000cfd9980659e746c3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Yesterday, I visited the Cape Fear River at the Tarheel Boating Access area. The weather was cloudy when I got there, 15 minutes later it rained steadily for 20 minutes, and after the rain, it was partly cloudy and about 90F. I walked the ramp access road a couple of times and explored the right of way under the bridges and the wooded edges, about 4 miles total. The highlights were 4 Byssus Skippers, 2 Dion Skippers, 16 Southern Skipperlings, and my first Ocola Skippers of the year. My list is below. Good butterflying. E.
