Park naturalist Terry Crabe said the numbers were down because of spring blooming late. "Everything's about two to three weeks behind normal," he. said. "Nothing has caught up yet." Crabe added that the sweltering heat of the counting day grounded many butterflies. Another reason for the lower numbers was fewer people were counting —.organizers wanted to limit counters to en- thusiasts only to avoid logistical problems. Results from the count (last year); 39 species (50); 3,962 in- dividuals (5,801); 44 observers (97). Two years ago saw the biggest numbers counted with 54 species, a whopping 13,968 individuals and 66 observers. Crabe said 1995 must have been a good season with ideal weather for butterflies to have their broods. He said butterfly experts 1, year after year trends rather than a single season's results when contemplating the health of butterfly populations. While Pinery numbers may be down, Crabe noted, oth- er areas throughout North America may be having banner butterfly seasons. Coming events HERN REUNION - Sunday, July 13 - 1 p.m. MacNpughton Park.
