This Silver Emperor was the first I've ever seen. With all the summer rains this may be a good butterfly year.

I checked out the Llano Grande flood channel south of the state park this evening. Water levels are finally dropping a bit and might be good in a few days. Twenty five Wood Storks flew in as I was leaving. There were also 12 Roseate Spoonbills and two Fulvous Whistling Ducks were among the 160 Black-bellies. Shorebirds are still way down from previous years. Most noteworthy were a pair of Northern Bobwhite. These are hard to find in the southern part of the county.

A day like yours would have meant 25 lifers for me, I certainly need to travel more, like to Santa Ana NWR, for example!
