The first SE AZ butterfly count for this year, the Sabino Canyon spring butterfly count, has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 8. This count which aside from covering Sabino Canyon proper also covers all areas along the Catalina Highway right up to the top of Mount Lemmon (of course, at this time of year it might be a bit early for butterflies at 9000 feet). In addition, lower spots such as Lowe's Ventana Canyon Resort and Agua Caliente Park will be covered. This count is open to everyone, so please contact compiler Greg Greene, greenecycle@hotmail.com if you are interested in participating. You might have a favorite place you'd like to cover or Greg can assign you to one that needs coverage. There will be a compilation dinner after the count so we can share our count sightings. The time and location of the dinner will be announced at a later date..
Special Notes:
1. Greg may not be able to respond to your email until early April.
2. A US Interagency Recreation Pass or Senior is required for entry into some areas included in the count circle.
