Comments	91 Street or Sawmill Road is a very open area which is the west side of the Wildlife Management Area. The area has many oxbows throughout. This female Pine White floated to what I call "goldenrod" in front of me. I returned two days later to this spot as the Kaufman Guide to Butterflies of North America suggests this species fly high around western pine trees. I could find no pine trees in this area. There were a few deciduous trees across the road from the goldenrod plant. Reviewed by Cris Guppy.
