Yucca Giant-skipperCumberland2024-04-02John Lynch1CACR - Almost hit me in the face as I approached the known patch of yucca. Very powerful flight. Followed it for ~20 seconds and was able to see it through binoculars before it drifted out of site over the trees. Couldn't relocate it after 30 minutes of searching the area.
