Our field season ended well, with an August 28 trip to the Ellensburg overlook to see the metalmarks, combined with a re-visit to Reecer Creek, with 22 species for the day. It was a strange season, with everything very late and with us often seeing few numbers but a good variety of species. Despite the late season, only one trip was totally cancelled because of weather—Quartz Mountain. For the Mount Townsend trip, folks decided to do it anyhow, as a hike in the drizzle with no butterflies seen.
