CVWO Sponsors Butterfly Count
Each year Coastal VAWildlife Observatory sponsors the butterfly count at the tip of the Eastern Shore. This year's count was Sunday, July 29. Lynn Davidson and Hal Wierenga led the effort and four teams spread out across the tip of the Eastern Shore to count butterflies. Here's the group in the Kiptopeke sector, led by CVWO President Brian Taber. This group tallied 35 species -- a very good list.
