------=_Part_390691_871982907.1785591174738 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I highly recommend the South Amherst Meadows field trip tomorrow, 10:30am, = with Harvey Allen. Last year we saw amazing numbers of Sulphurs, Silver-bor= dered Fritillaries and Ringlets . . . plus a Buckeye and other delightful f= inds. Unfortunately, I cannot attend this year, but I'm hoping others might= be free to accompany the longtime naturalist Harvey Allen on this trip. He= re are the details with last year's trip list below. I recommend calling Ha= rvey rather than emailing to rsvp . . . although you can also just show up!
