I went out Saturday for one of the periodic butterfly counts in the north tract.
Numbers have been down everywhere as the result of the last year's freeze and the current drought, perhaps.
The predominant species in this habitat are Ceraunus Blue and Common Buckeye. The question at the moment is which one will be more numerous.
The Blues won 35 to 32.
Other species were Gulf Fritillary, Variegated Fritillary, Barred Yellow, Cloudless Sulfur, Zebra Swallowtail and Zarucco.
I also found some trash while I was wandering around.
