Here are a few photos from the Durham Butterfly Count over the years...

We may have set a new record in 2008 for the most umbrellas needed at the beginning of a butterfly count! Fortunately, the rain moved on out and we persisted and ended up tallying a remarkable 59 species and over 3000 individual buttterflies today!

From left to right: Jennifer, Will, Freddie-Jeanne, Ted, Dave, Marty, Wendy, Tom, Owen, Carl (front), Harry (back), Allison, Bob (front), Clinton, Meg, Randy, Nancy, Jim.
