Notice from Gordon Hart re April Butterfly Count
Hello Butterfly Enthusiasts,
Despite the cool spring weather, butterflies are being sighted and we will have an April count! The count period starts Saturday April 16 until Sunday April 24. This is an informal census of butterfly numbers and species in Greater Victoria. The area is defined by the Christmas Bird Count circle, extending from Victoria to Brentwood Bay and Island View Road in Central Saanich, and west to Happy Valley and Triangle Mountain, and Langford Lake and Goldstream areas.
You can submit a count any time over the count period, just use a separate form for each count and location. In the case of repeat or duplicate counts, I will use the higher numbers. To submit counts, please use the form from the VNHS website at https://www.vicnhs.bc.ca/?p=33
If you have difficulty with the form, just send me an email with the information.
Thank-you for submitting your sightings and good luck with your count.
Gordon Hart,
Butterfly Count Coordinator
Victoria Natural History Society
