Hi Butterfly Friends,
This Saturday the 24th is the Clifton Bend fall count.  We will meet at the 
Carroll Cabin Barrens State Natural Area parking lot at 9:30 AM to begin the 
count.  The weather forecast looks pretty good right now with a little respite 
from the recent extreme heat predicted.  Since this is a seasonal count, we are 
required to have at least 4 observers and put in 6 party-hours for the count to 
be official.  So please let me know if you are able to help out.  With the 
abundant Liatris, Frostweed, and Snow Squarestem as nectar sources they usually 
bring in lots of butterflies.  Last year we had 53 species and nearly 1500 
individuals.  Bring plenty of water and bug spray (this area is notoriously 
tick-y) and plan on lunch at around 1:30 at Meo Mio's Cajun restaurant (THE 
BEST shrimp and grits ever!).  As always, there will be a $3.00 fee to NABA to 
join the count.  We should finish around 5:00, but you are always free to leave 
whenever you need to.

See you Saturday!
Bart Jones
Memphis, Shelby Co.
