The Butterfly Count on Cape Cod is a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty of
these exquisite insects and to contribute to the scientific database on
their presence and migration patterns.
 
Both newcomers and veteran participants are welcome - whether you are
starting on a new, exciting adventure, much like bird watching, or can help
identify butterflies. Butterflies are not only beautiful and interesting,
but also important pollinators.
 
The count is run by the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) and
there are counts in July all over North America.  You can find out all about
the counts by going online to  <http://www.naba,org/> www.naba,org
 
Participants will need to bring a lunch, binoculars, proper clothing, a
butterfly guide if you have one, and be prepared to have a good time!  We
shall carpool in teams to many sites. Butterfly books are on sale at the
Museum.
 
If you are interested, please call in and register for the count. Register
with Julie O'Neil, 508-896-3867 ex. 129, or adminsupport at ccmnh.org
