2006 Butterfly Count – July 11, 2006

It was a terrible day for a count – rainy and cool.  We gathered at our house, and waited for the rain to stop.

We ate a lot of Gary and Joe’s bad doughnuts.

Eventually the rain let up long enough to walk a little.  We saw a few butterflies, including this Appalachian Brown.

We were watching for Little Yellows, but I didn’t see one until just after everyone left.

The day continued to be wet and cool, so we spent very little time outside, looking for butterflies.  We ended up not registering an official count for this year.
