Try something new this summer. Brush up on local butterfly identification and make plans to participate in the annual 4th of July Butterfly Count sponsored by the North American Butterfly Association (NABA). The one-day census counts all butterflies within a 15-mile diameter count area, usually a few weeks before or after the 4th of July. To find out if there is a count scheduled in your area, write to: NABA Butterfly Count, 2533 McCart, Fort Worth, TX 76110; email naba@naba.org; or check the online list at http://www.naba.org/4july.html.
