I submitted the 4 orchids - pink fingers, brown caps, waxlips and Black Mtn leopard to prove they are all going strong in AB. There are still duskies and muskies as well but I didn’t have a chance to record them before it got dark. ANd there are still tigers in the south of AB. So still 7 species ticking along in AB. Plus gnats, sun, greenhoods…
