I keep hearing that they are absent during the summer and return in winter. While they certainly disappeared from Tryon Creek State Park and Rose City Park this summer, they were still abundant on Mt. Tabor and at Kings and Elk Mountains. Are they simply moving to slightly higher elevations in summer? If so, the movement is ever so slight. I've noticed that they have returned, to some degree, to Tryon and Rose City, and I look forward to the heart of winter. It's hard to fathom 100 in one setting, and I hope to see such a sight!Rhett Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391405601958802301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556876169792056824.post-63773867037196621232009-11-09T18:36:58.073-08:002009-11-09T18:36:58.073-08:005 Flickers at once?
