If there's an upside to this season's devastating weather, it's that we feel an even greater appreciation for the more benevolent signs of spring and summer. Butterflies are one of those welcome sights, and many early-season species are starting to take flight.
For this Heard Up North, Angela Evancie met up with Kevin Hemeon at Park McCullough's Mile-Around-Woods in North Bennington, Vermont to look for a rare butterfly called the West Virginia White. Hemeon is a butterfly enthusiast - he contributed more than 2,000 records to a state butterfly survey that was recently released by the Vermont Center for Ecostudies. (Hemeon didn't spot any butterflies on this outing, but at least it wasn't raining.)
