We've set dates for this year's RI NABA Butterfly Counts! At these events, amateurs and experts go into 15 mile diameter 'count circles' and identify as many butterflies as they can in a single day. The Bristol and Newport County circles will be counted on Saturday, June 19th. The Providence, Kent and Washington County Circles will be counted on Saturday, July 10th. More details will be posted as we get closer to the date.
Maps of the 5 RI count circles (one centered in each RI county) can be viewed by clicking on the link in the sidebar. Remember: some of the circles overlap quite a bit into other counties. The "Bristol" circle includes parts of Warwick, Cranston, Providence, East Providence and Massachusetts!
Beginners are welcome! If you've never participated in the Butterfly Count before and would like to be added to the email contact list or get more information, please contact me at jlewis@asri.org.
Looking forward to spring,
July Lewis
