I visited the NC Sandhills Game Land the last 2 days, August 25 and 26, loo=
king for areas of blossoming Ironweed and whatever butterflies the Ironweed=
might attract. Late blossoming Ironweed is for the most part only found i=
n compartments burned in the current year so I tend to look for tracts burn=
ed in the current year and then concentrate on those areas.

Over the past two days I crisscrossed most of my favorite tracts in Blocks =
A and B of the Game Land and while I did find a number of areas with lush g=
reen, post-burn Wiregrass, I found only a few areas of good Ironweed bloom.=
I do not know the extent to which the burn ban impacted the Game Land bur=
n schedule. It does feel like a bit of a "double whammy" with the drought =
itself compounded by a significant reduction in fall nectar plants due to f=
ewer burned areas. Time will tell.

On Tuesday I concentrated on Richmond County spending most of my time on th=
e move, Several of the field areas produced good numbers of fresh looking =
Common Buckeyes and Variegated Fritillaries. Sleepy Oranges were abundant =
and Cloudless Sulfurs were common. I found 4 Southern Cloudywings includin=
g 2 on a single Ironweed. I had no interesting skippers on Tuesday.

On Wednesday I started in Scotland County, again crisscrossing the areas on=
either side of Hoffman Road. I found almost no areas of good nectar plant=
in Scotland County and by mid-afternoon I returned to Block A and Richmond=
County. At 2:45 I spotted my 1st interesting skipper, a fresh Byssus Skipp=
er, a pretty modest reward for 2 days of searching.

Below is a complete list for Tuesday, 8/25 and a list of highlights for Wed=
nesday, 8/26. All these are for Richmond County.
