| Clay & I immensely enjoyed being ON the
counts again and seeing many of you. We've attached the results of this year's counts (Francis Marion NF, SC, Butterfly Count on July 5, 2002, and the Hobcaw Barony, SC, Butterfly Count on July 6, 2002). Couldn't have done these counts without your help. Thank you all for your terrific efforts. We even added quite a few new species this year. Fun how we continue to learn even when we think we know what to expect. Thank you for making this possible! Hope you'll join us for next year's counts.
