Went looking for Cobweb Skippers did not see any, but one skipper looked promising as it dove into the grasses but then escaped through the woods which is not a Cobweb trait. Quite a bit of the central barrens had been burned in the last couple days, looked like a planned burn as crew was still present and tilled around edge. Four six spotted Tiger Beetles. My first sightings of Henry's Elfins ever. Several sightings of species that I did not know but they were camera shy
