[SEMCO] Butterfly Counts

[Alison Robb]

							 July Butterfly Counts 2015


The July Butterfly Counts are ongoing this month.    The Falmouth  
Count is on Saturday,
July 18 at 30 am.

We meet at  Crane Wildlife Management Area off Rte. 151 in  
Hatchville.  We shall cover several areas of Crane, led by Joe  
Dwelly.  Everyone whether experienced or not is welcome to  
participate.    We might be out for 2 or 3 or 4 hours, depending on  
the weather and the success on spotting butterflies.   Joe will keep  
a record of what we see, and the more people we have the more  
spotting we will do.

I will cover a few other sites in Falmouth on my own.

We do not catch the butterflies but spot them, look at them through  
binoculars to identify them, and never get in their way.  No one  
should catch butterflies as they are becoming more scarce because of  
lack of habitat and insecticides.

You should bring a light lunch, water, a sun hat and sun screen and   
$3.    I suggest long pants because there is poison ivy in a few  
areas.  Your choice.

We hope to see you there.    I attach the schedule of the other  
counts on the Cape.  You can find a schedule of all the counts in  
Massachusetts at     www.naba.org

Do join us !
