--0000000000008bdef1065ac24db7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" On 9/1/26 I walked the CarBMP survey route on Chowan Swamp Game Land near the Wiccacon River in Hertford Co. with temp.'s in the low 90 degrees F with high humidity and sunny, calm conditions. Numbers and diversity were pretty good again, but missed Hoary Edge and surprised not to see any Yehl Skippers. The highlights were Great Purple Hairstreaks and Swarthy Skipper. The most active nectar sources were Roundleaf Boneset and joe-pye-weed. List, including Incidentals, below.
