Butterflies in Alamos, Sonora 12/21 -24/99

Butterflies were dissapointedly few last week in Alamos - just a few
species and in very small numbers compared to last year at the same
time.  We were entertaining and guiding birders, as well as doing the
Christmas Bird Count in Alamos, so we could not concentrate on
butterflies as much as we would have liked.
