9/12 Beaver Broo, Haydenville

[Barbara Volkle]

Thanks to Bill Benner and Joe Wicinski for leading this walk for the Massachusetts Butterfly Club.

From Bill Benner:

Here is the list for yesterday's walk at Beaver Brook.  There were 12 of us altogether on the walk.  As you are well aware, overall species diversity wasn't that high, but the quality was great, highlighted by the excellent Red-banded Hairstreak that Dan Castriotti found.  A life butterfly for many of the people on the trip!
