SUMMARY:NABA Butterfly Count (SCRA\, Aiken County\, SC)
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 9\, 2022\, NABA (North American Butterfly Association) will hold a butterfly count in the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area) at the Silver Bluff Audubon Center in Jackson\, South Carolina. Audubon’s Silver Bluff Sanctuary is a 3\,400-acre woodland overlooking the Savannah River. Here you’ll find extensive pine forests and bottomland hardwood forests; beautiful walking trails; 50 acres of lakes and ponds; 100 acres of grassland; and all manner of birds\, butterflies and wildlife. Refer to the website below for specific directions and additional information about Silver Bluff Sanctuary. \nMeet at the Silver Bluff Audubon Visitor Center in Jackson\, South Carolina. The GPS coordinates for the gate just outside the visitor center are 33.32451\, -81.84501. Please RSVP to John Demko at the email address below if you plan to participate. \nImportant note: using the street address\, some GPS systems tell you that you’ve arrived one mile before you actually reach the Silver Bluff gates. At that point\, Silver Bluff Road transitions from a paved road to a well-maintained sand/clay road. Continue driving for one more mile and you’ll see the gates on your right. As stated earlier\, the GPS coordinates above are for the gate located just outside the visitor’s center. \nOn this same date\, there will also be another group over on the Georgia side of the river doing a NABA count in the Phinizy Swamp Nature Park. If anyone is interested in participating with this other group in Georgia\, contact John Demko at the email address below for more information.
