All:

Jason Weintraub from the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences is interested in 
finding relictual populations of Regal Fritillaries and he wants to 
use......Henslow's Sparrows to do so. 

It turns out that the best predictor of Regal Fritillary presence is the 
precence of breeding Henslow's Sparrows.  So, if any of  you have records 
of localities in Western Maryland, West Virginia, or Pennsylvania of 
breeding Henslow's he would like to know so that he can look for 
Fritillaries at the same spots.

You can contact him directly at:



Thanks

Butterfly

Down the air
    He falls sun-lazy
Debonair
    Upon a daisy;

Now he drifts
    To fall between
Snowy rifts
    Of scented bean;

And where petals
    Lift in flight,
There he settles
    Hid from sight.
