2009 Butterfly Count

Today, Professor Jerry Powell and a crew : Liam O'Brien, Chris Tenny, Paul Johnson, Aurora Mahassine and Norma Davis, headed out to check the butterflies in a circle on the map centered on Hastings. Jerry, Norma and Aurora walked down the Arnold Road. Liam took the drive to Arroyo Seco and Paul and associates headed up to Chew's Ridge. Jerry reports that, as one would suspect during a dry year, the butterfly numbers are low again. About like last year. Check back in a few days and we should have the final tally.
