"Memorial Day" count

[Anne Kilmer]

NABA announcement:
"Everyone is invited to spend some time outdoors this Memorial Day weekend
(May 25-May 27) and to observe butterflies.  Butterflies can be seen
anywhere, including in national, state and county parks, or in the 
observer's own backyard.  Observations can be for as little as one-half 
hour or for
the entire weekend.

Observers are encouraged to send in the reports to the "Butterflies I've
Seen" pages at the NABA web site, www.naba.org.

The Memorial Day Butterfly Count is intended to officially launch the
"Butterflies I've Seen" sightings database/life list, which will become one
of the largest biological databases in the world."

Dear Jeffrey,
Are international butterflyers invited to join this count? I'd like to 
count in Ireland, and I'm sure many of our international friends are 
also eager to join in.
The fellows were just complaining that they'd like a worldwide spring 
count, and a fall count too, and it's great that you're accommodating us.
Thanks
Anne Kilmer
Mayo, Ireland
and South Florida
