8/25 - about 15 people came out to Osbornedale State Park in Derby today for the CBA field trip. Nice warm sunny day, though the cold morning caused things to start off a bit slow.


One of the highlights was a Saddleback caterpillar found in the field next to the parking lot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/connecticutpete/9593535735/in/photostream/
