On Saturday, July 23 the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History will hold the

Annual Brewster Butterfly Count, beginning at 9:00 am from the Museum and
covering Brewster, Harwich, Orleans and Wellfleet. (Rain date: Sunday, July
24 at 9:00 am). The leader is Alison Robb.

            The Brewster Butterfly count is a special day-long opportunity
to count butterflies for the North American Butterfly Association. There are
counts in July all over North America, accessible by going online to
www.naba.org <http://www.naba.org/> .

            We welcome participants who can help identify butterflies as
well as newcomers who can start on a new, exciting adventure, much like bird
watching. You will also be making an important contribution to the
scientific database.

            Butterflies are not only beautiful and interesting, but also
important pollinators.

Bring a lunch, binoculars, proper clothing and a butterfly guide, if you
have one. We shall carpool in teams to many sites. 

In 2010 707 butterflies in 28 species were sighted!! 

            Register with Alison Robb at 508-564-4331 or nature at cape.com
