--000000000000fc3eea0605296f63 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT I visited for the first time 2 tracts of the Chowan Swamp Game Land in Hertford Co., NC on 9/8, with butterflies listed first at GL property off Harewood Rd. near Potecasi Cr., and those listed second at property off Cedar Hill Rd. near Wiccacon River. I was impressed with the activity overall, with popular nectar sources along roadsides & in recently thinned pine stands: joe-pye-weed, boneset, *Bidens*, & *Lespedeza*. Highlights were multiple Yehl Skippers & Great Purple Hairstreaks, and Painted Lady. Nick Flanders Portsmouth, VA Black Swallowtail - , 7 Spicebush Swallowtail - 2 , 5 Palamedes Swallowtail - , 5 E.
