377 species documented.

Finally have gotten some rain, over 3 inches the last few days. The creek in the back is full again. Have noticed an uptick in larger butterflies this month, with Gulf Friliary being the primary, but also viceroy, swallowtails (Giant, pipevine, eastern). Smaller skippers are abundant also.

Starting to see boneset, maximillia sunflowers and ironweed bloom. Still feel like there is a gap in bloom during late summer.
