Butterfly CountsThe Northern Crescents holds butterfly counts at various locations NE Minnesota / NW Wisconsin from June-August. All are welcome to join! No prior knowledge necessary! Contact Jim for more info. You may wish to enter your data in the "Butterflies I've Seen" site.
Our upcoming Count Schedule:The NABA official count period for 2008 is Sunday June 1 through Thursday July 31. Here is the updated list of dates and leaders for our Northern Crescents Chapter's butterfly counts this summer: Sat June 14 (*) starting 10:30 - Boulder Lake Mgmt Area (Jim Phillips). Sat June 21 (*) starting 10:30 - Moose Lake State Park (Jim Phillips). Sat June 28 - Grand Marais/Cook County (Dave MacLean) Fri July 4 – Laurentian Divide (Jerry McCormick). Sat July 5 (*) or Sun July 6 (*) starting 10:30 - Bear Trap Junction (Jim Phillips). Tue July 15 - McNair Site (Jim Phillips). Sat July 19 - Muriel Shirey Memorial / Enger Park (Pat Thomas/Wally Mattson). Sat July 26 starting 11:00 - Pederson's Gardens / Anna-Gene Park (Jim Phillips). The dates marked with an (*) are still flexible. I am willing to change these to other days, including weekdays, if that helps someone participate. My main reason for favoring Saturdays is that it leaves Sundays handy for rain-outs. If anyone wants to attend one of the (*) marked counts on a Sunday or weekday, please let me know and I will try to accommodate you. I am perfectly willing to lead a count with only one or two other observers.
Some things to consider wearing or bringing:
