We will meet on Monday, May 19 south of Naples, NY to conduct a population census of American Columbo under the direction of Dr Bruce Gilman. You can read more about the American Columbo in our Spring 2025 edition of the VASCULUM. Details with location and possible carpooling will be shared when you register.
It began as a chilly day, but a walk up a good hill to the oak-hickory woods warmed us up to find, flag and count American Columbo. Final tally was 482!
