[Lenny Brown]

On Saturday, May 20th, 11 butterfliers joined me on the CBA field trip to
Mansfield Hollow Dam in Windham.

While the day started out cloudy and cool, the sun came out and
temperatures reached the low seventies.  As a result, the group was able to
find a total of 23 species of butterflies.  The list for the day is as
follows:

Black Swallowtail (2)
Giant Swallowtail (1) (FOY; a flyby near the parking lot on Route 6)
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (3)
Spicebush Swallowtail (2)
Cabbage White (1)
