> There are four butterfly counts ( much like bird counts) on the  
> Cape in July.  Alison Robb and Tor Hansen lead them.  She asks for  
> many volunteers whether able to identify butterflies or or just to  
> spot them for the more experienced.  It is a great learning  
> experience and in succeeding years each participant becomes more  
> useful!  (and she hopes more addicted to this new outdoor sport or  
> passion).  We meet at 9 am,, set off in teams to  several sites,  
> visit the most popular habitats, enjoy a full day outdoors, and  
> regroup at 3 pm to report.  We carpool to several sites; there is  
> not a huge amount of walking.
>
>
> The 4th of July Butterfly Counts take place annually on the same  
> date and at the same sites.  The more people on each team, the more  
> sites can be covered.   The data is entered into a database which  
> is published by NABA (North American Butterfly Association, see  
> www.NABA .org).
