Fieldtrip to Rackensack Canyon on the road to Seven Springs. Leader: Janet Witzeman
location:
Saturday, April 10, 2010
7:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Meet at 7:30 A.M. at the southeast corner of the junction of the CaveCreek Road and the road turning off to Bartlett Dam (about 8 miles East of Carefree). Bring a lunch, water, and close focus binoculars. On a butterfly trip to this area in the same month last year, we recorded 28 species of butterflies, including the amazing Yucca Giant-Skipper. There was also a stunning display of wildflowers in the area which we will hope for again this year.
Janet Witzeman has been observing and learning about Arizona butterflies since 1982 when she began going on the southeast Arizona butterfly counts with Richard Bailowitz and Doug Danforth. After learning more about butterflies in Maricopa County from Killian Roever, she has been leading butterfly field trips for the Maricopa Audubon Society since 1994.
We ask for a $5 donation.
