On 9/23 I returned to my First Ridge CBMP route on Chowan Swamp Game Land near the Wiccacon R. in Hertford Co. with partly cloudy turning to mostly cloudy skies, so better weather for butterflies. Glad to do the CBMP route again after a prolonged absence due to back-to-back viral illnesses in September, ugh. Nick Flanders Portsmouth, VA *9/22 (cloudy)* Camden Co. - Morgans Corner Rd.
