Mascoma Audubon's butterfly field trip on Saturday had a good showing of both
butterflies and participants.  The weather threatened, but the rain didn't
begin until we were ending the trip.  Despite the intermittent cloudiness, we
saw a respectable 24 species of butterflies, and several of us were able to get
some photographs.  We visited the Wilder substation and the North Hartland Dam
entrance dike.

Species List:

Cabbage White
Clouded Sulphur

Other highlights were a moose at the wetland below the dike, and a cooperative
