Went on a Butterfly count with an Oklahoma group in Nickel Nature Preserve near Tahlequah, OK. Lots od butterflies especially Silvery Checkerspots and Red Spotted Purples. We did sight several uncommon Golden Banded skippers. In addition I sighted a Southern Dogface Sulphur and several Byssus skippers. The Pipevine swallowtails were busy nectaring bee balm and late blooming Orange Butterfly weed.
A long, tiring but rewarding day.
