Below you will find the results of the inaugural NABA butterfly count held in
White County, Tennessee, on 22 August. We are all a bit disappointed by the
low species count, no doubt the result of the fact that our team was able to
cover only about 15% of our count circle. The hope is that we will have more
workers and better coverage in the years to come. All in all, however, a
thoroughly enjoyable and educational day!
