We are busily scheduling the orientation dates and other details. Check back here soon for more info, or contact July Lewis at jlewis@asri.org to be added to the Butterfly Count mailing list.
Winter has us in its icy grip right now, but it can't last forever...and we are always eager for the first butterfly sighting of the year! On those first warm sunny days, keep an eye out for Mourning Cloaks and other butterflies that overwinter as adults. Please report your sighting at Ocean State Butterflies Yahoo group: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/oceanstatebutterflies/. Anyone can read the postings and you have to be a member to post. Joining is free and relatively easy--you just need to create a yahoo account--but you can email me at jlewis@asri.org if you run into problems.
Stay warm!
