Looking for citizen scientists! Join biologist Phil Archibald as he leads a group for the Annual Butterfly Count from Swakane Canyon to Chumstick Mountain. Similar to the Great Backyard Bird Count, this day focuses on citizen scientists helping conservation and greater understanding of butterfly health, habitat, and migration patterns. Plus, it’s fun! Phil will help us to identify and understand butterflies and their habitat. Along the way, the group will also be birding and traveling through different types of habitat, including a recent burn. At the end of the day, the group will meet other counters and compare results.
This trip is open to all levels of birders and butterfliers and will be done by car on rough roads with short, intermittent walks. The trip is free and limited to 12 people. Please RSVP to Bridget Egan at mtnegan@gmail.com or 509-433-7306.
