Counting
Butterflies
The Tallgrass Prairie Preserve
4th of July Butterfly County will
be Saturday. June 24. Volun-
teers interested in helping to
count the butterflies should
meet at 9 a.m. at the Tallgrass
Prairie Preserve Headquarters,
north of Pawhuska. The count
will last until about I p.m.
weather permitting.
This is the eighth butterfly
count at the preserve. The first
count was in 1993. In 1999.
333 individual but terflies repre-
senting 36 different species
were counted.
For more information about
the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve
Butterfly Count contact Bob
Hamilton at The Tallgrass
Prairie Preserve, 918/287 4803.
The count program has been
an annual event since 1975,
when only 29 counts were held
across the nation in 1999. 387
counts were held in 15 states,
seven Canadian provinces and
one Mexican state.
Volunteers around North
America select a count area
with a 15mile diameter and
conduct a one day census of all
butterflies observed within that
circle. The counts are usually
held in the lew weeks before or
alter July 4.
However, the best timing for
butterfly observation in each
count circle varies. The result
ing data from the counts can
indicate long term trends in
butterfly populations in general
and also with individual spec ies.
No experience or equipment is
necessary to participate in the
count, although a butterfly field
guide will enhance a persons
appreciation of the event.
