Better late than never -- the results of the Pettigrew count, held 8 days ago (August 31) have been compiled by Ed C, and sent to me for submitting to NABA. The weather was typical hot -- 93 degrees for the high at nearby Plymouth, and generally partly cloudy all day; no rain. Of course, the count was hampered by the very severe March weather, and also by the continuing bush-hogging and cleaning of canals and ditches (for better irrigation of fields, I think). This cleaning up has resulted in much fewer stands of verbena along the road margins, and buttonbushes are hard to find, though most were finished blooming anyway.
