The count circle includes Patagonia, AZ and vicinity with an excellent variety of habitats. This is why the Patagonia count is usually one of the top three species-wise in the nation.
Meet at 7AM at Wild Horse Restaurant for breakfast and area assignments. The compilation dinner will also be at Wild Horse Restaurant.
