Coordinator notes: Hopewell is about the most accessible place to see this species. congrats on a terrifically successful trip! Joshua, it has been brought to my attention (and I agree) that the stated observation date of March 9 is impossible for this species because habitat would be under snow. Certainly no yellow composites in bloom, such as the one in your images. Thus, either I misidentified it (quite possible) or we have an incorrect observation date. Can you please go back through your notes and check that date? you can reply to me directly at sjcary1@outlook.com. thanks!
