A North American Butterfly Association (NABA) Count will be on April 11, 2020 (weather permitting).
The count is centered at Salt Creek Recreational Center in Chula Vista (near Otay Lakes).

With an 8-mile radius, this area includes R. Jamul, SD National Wildlife Refuge (R. San Diego),
Sweetwater Reservoir, Sweetwater Regional Park, and Otay Region.

You can find this count on:

https://www.naba.org/counts/count_circles.html

under: "Southwest San Diego County, CA"

If you or any of your friends are interested, please let me know by the end of March. Also, your level of expertise with butterflies so I can match experts with novices. No nets will be used,
just binoculars and lenses. This is the first time that a NABA count has been conducted in San Diego city limits in
a while (if ever), so it should be fun.
We will be meeting at Salt Creek Recreation Center in Chula Vista at 9am. All levels welcome from beginner to expert!

Thanks for the invite. Unfortunately, I'll be doing some fieldwork elsewhere that day!

@docprt and I are available that day and would like to participate. We are somewhere between novice and expert when it comes to butterflies. The count sounds sort of like the Christmas Bird Count which we have participated in for many years.

Exactly like that, but butterflies!
Thanks, Millie!

What time does it run until? We have a softball game for our kiddo that mid-morning. My wife has done butterfly counts on a professional level before, but would have to brush up. I am a total novice!

Meet at 9am. I was planning on having groups that can do 9am to noon and 9am to 4pm.

Thanks for the invite! Unfortunately I'm living in Sacramento at the moment and I won't be in SD in April. Have fun out there!

We'd love to meet up with whatever groups will be staying out til 4 pm once softball lets out at 11:00. We will be nearby at Lake Murray anyway, so can still make a good deal of the fun, if that's OK. If there's any prep materials you want to send me (since we'd be missing the 9 am meeting), I can give you my email.

I'm available for the shorter time slot, 9am till noon. Put me down as an enthusiastic beginner/novice with peripheral experience.

Sounds great! I'll send every who is interested my e-mail and cell number as we get closer to the day.

Hello everyone,

I am cancelling this butterfly counting event
for Covid. I will try to set something up for the Fall 2020,
and also Spring 2021!

Stay healthy!

Thanks - please invite me next time. I'm totally interested just wasn't sure about my schedule for April

Right now, no one is sure about anything in the foreseeable future.
