With Don Fraser; a mostly butterfly trip with Bev Hansen, Clay Black, and others with Hernando Audubon. We walked the main loop only, although I walked the trail to the green barn. The weather at the start was sunny and 64 degrees ("feels like" 64), with calm winds. Don and I met at 0735 and birded for an hour before we met the group at the parking lot at 0900. We were underway by 0920. The primary goal was to find Great Purple Hairstreak, so we concentrated on the three main Sparkleberry patches. We ended up with 18 species of butterflies, including 3 Great Purple Hairstreaks. We left at exactly 1200, and Don and I headed to Sam's Beach Bar at Hudson Beach for lunch.
