Coordinator notes: This is a county record for Harper County. Where I allow tall grasses to grow against privacy fences these guys like to use their unique fluttering flight to land on fence behind grass in shade. Finding them fairly frequent. This is a female I netted, photographed and released, subspecies C. pegala texana. JAMES STEEN
