[Ctleps-l] Field trip reminder

[Roy Zartarian]

Coming up this weekend:

Saturday August 23, 10 AM
Jared Eliot Preserve, a Guilford Land Trust Property and Chaffinch Island
Park, Guilford
Leader: Lenny Brown 203-949-9024These locations promise to produce a
variety of species. We hope to find Hackberry Emperor, American Snout, and
southern species that may be moving through the area at this time of year.
Be prepared to walk through an uncut meadow (possibly wet) and protect
yourself from mosquitoes. Wear long pants as there are a lot of brambles in
the preserve.
Directions: From I-95 take exit 58 and travel south on Rte 77. Follow Rte
77 to Rte 146 and go west on Rte 146. After approx. 1-2 miles turn left on
Mulberry Point Rd. Meet at the intersection of Mulberry Point Rd. and
Mulberry Farms Rd.
Sunday Aug 24,  11 AM
Osbornedale State Park, Derby
Leader: Peter DeGennaro 203-598-8577We will explore Osbornedale's meadows
for late season swallowtails, hairstreaks, skippers, and other butterflies.
With the Housatonic River bringing in butterflies from the coast, the park
can become a great inland trap for vagrants. The hackberry trees in the
park could produce American Snout and both emperors, and the estate's
buddleias enter full bloom this time of year. Easy, mowed walking trails
but bring water and sunscreen.
Directions: from Route 8 take exit 15, at end of ramp, turn left onto Main
St. (Rte. 34). Continue West on Rte. 34 for about 1.5 miles. Then take a
right onto Lakeview Terrace (there is a road sign for Kellogg
Center/Osbornedale State Park at the corner).  Continue to stop sign at the
end of the road; turn left at stop sign and immediately another left into
parking lot. Meet in parking lot.
