--0000000000009bc2b906047e4a5c Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT I spent the afternoon at the Cape Fear Botanical Garden and the Cape Fear River Trail from the garden down to the railroad trestle over the Cape Fear River. I walked 6.6 miles total, mostly on the river trail. The only nectaring, outside of the garden, was *Verbena brasiliensis*. I saw 31 species today, another above-average Cumberland County total. My highlights were 1 Tawny Emperor (a personal fav of mine), 3 Gemmed Satyrs, 1 Yehl Skipper, and 2 Eufala Skippers. Pics of the Yehl can be seen here, Mike Turner | Flickr <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.flickr.com/photos/61962421@N05/with/53161721872/__;!!OToaGQ!pt7p2HVKhFIkaT0tnuHavgiwmDFkr9zNYBz5MwTCtWMn8zuBlaxfa7JUK52UjBwYPv-HJWxevctvgNio7bs5FnDp$ >.
