Didn't find much of what we were looking for, but caught a bunch of species new to us over the weekend. I am waiting to get pictures from my brothers' cameras and trying to finish up what will be a hugely long writeup over on my blog, but for now, here is as much of the tally as I can remember.

Forum browsing can always be a little dicey on phones. There are apps for accessing phpBB boards, but I haven't had the best experience with them. I'd suggest trying a 3rd party browser. Safari for iOS sucks and most of the stock browsers on Android phones aren't great either. Atomic is a good alter...
