After a year on the road crossing and recrossing North America on his quest ot encounter as many butterflies as possible and thus establish the Butterfly Big Year, Robert Michael Pyle has finally returned. His final post, dated January 12, 2009, that capped the blog he wrote detailing his adventures over the course of this past year, is now online at the Xerces Society’s website. Even if you were not following this blog as it was developing, this final post is a must read for anyone interested in butterflies, ecology, conservation, as well as all enthusiasts of superb natural history writing. Should you find that what you read in this post strikes an appreciative chord in your brain, all of Bob’s previous posts are also online along with it.
Peace.
