  • Topic: Flash Trip to SE Arizona: Butterflies
  • Presented By: Sharon Wander

What's It About? Angling to see some different butterflies before the summer ended, 6 club members put together a trip to southeastern Arizona almost overnight at the end of August. From Sept 1-8 we scoured desert, canyon, and garden habitats for butterflies, birds, and other critters; plants; scenery; and anything else of interest. This program will cover the many species of butterflies caught by our cameras.

If you missed any of our prior meetings, you can view videos of some of these meetings on our YouTube Page.

Upcoming Field Trips

Our 2024 schedule of field trips has concluded. Please be sure to check back in the spring to see what we have in store for next year.

4th of July Butterfly Counts

No weekend field trips are scheduled for late June and July because many members participate in Fourth of July Counts, which are held on weekends during this period. If you are interested in participating, contact the count leader.
