Here is the unedited summary of the Putnam County East butterfly count, 
conducted this past Friday, July 23. Note that Little Yellow was counted on 
this count for the first time in 9 years.

 

The Putnam County West butterfly count now scheduled for this coming Wed., July 
28; please contact me via this email address or my home address 
(birdsongteam@xxxxxxxxxxx) if interested in taking part.

 

The checkered-skipper entry should actually be presented as Common/White 
Checkered-Skipper since that particular 'fly was not subjected to a microscopic 
examination of its genitalia.
