Durham Butterfly Count


-

Join NCBP member Jeff Pippen for the annual NABA Durham Butterfly Count.

Pack your binoculars and join us for the annual Durham Butterfly Count, which routinely sees between 50-60 species, vying for the highest species diversity of any count in the Carolinas. The Durham count circle harbors many excellent butterflying locations, so we can use all the eyes we can get! Beginners welcome (see below).

Pack yourself some snacks, your lunch, and LOTS of beverages as it's usually pretty toasty outside this time of year. Jeff always recommends hiking boots, long pants, a hat, sunscreen and binoculars. Note that there is a mandatory $3 per person fee to participate (levied by and forwarded to NABA for printing/compiling costs).

Please contact Jeff Pippen if you plan to participate, so that he can coordinate participants for the count. If you would like to participate and be paired with an experienced leader, he will put you in touch with that leader so you can coordinate meeting times and locations.
