Hey - Here's the results fo the 2006 WEWO Count. The weather was
prefect - upper 70's - low 80's no wind - plenty of sunshine but not
good numbers of butterflys. The primary nectar source was New Jersey
Tea, Sandhills Thistle and daisy fleabane with some garden butterfly
plants at Weymouth Center. 7 folks participated.We covered the main
Weymouth tract until noon then most folks had to head home. I was
working and a couple of commitments so we were not able to cover the
circle well this year. (We missed you Harry;). I feel we still could
have reached 35+ species with better coverage. Thanks to all of you for
your help. Have great week.
