Location: Crex Meadows SWA
Burnett County

Saw a couple dozen dusky-winged skippers at the corner of Reed Lake Road and James Road, on the gravel. If you want to hone your skipper ID skills, try this corner. Also present were a dozen or more blues, with at least three species. A few Olympias were seen at other spots on Crex.
