Count held Thursday, August 20, more than two weeks later than previous counts. Weather was great; mix of sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, five minute sprinkles. High in low 80s.

This ties our 2012 high count of 55. We had three BFs new to count (Sleepy Orange, Zarucco DW, Tawny Emperor), and missed two (Silvery Checkerspot and Hayhurst Scallopwing) that we had on all previous counts. Sachem, SSS, ETB, and Pearl Crescent numbers were high counts. Our total individual count was highest ever at 2626.

We had 9 participants, six walking Sandy Mush gamelands and 3 driving other areas. Big thank you to Doug Johnson, Joe Tomcho, Vin Stanton, Simon Thompson, Nancy Cowal, Janie Owens, Ruth Young, and Sue Perry.
