Birds or Butterflies, Which do I Choose? with David Droppers

  • Pacific Rim Institute 180 Parker Road Coupeville, WA, 98239 United States (map)

A “Wings over Whidbey” event

Join us for a fun and fascinating presentation in the Pacific Rim Institute’s Granary Building.

Birds or butterflies - which do I choose? Good news! Not only do you not have to choose - they are surprisingly complimentary! But how does one go butterflying, and how do we incorporate it into birding? Where does one go to find butterflies in Washington? David will introduce you to the world of butterflies, and how they relate to the birds. With stunning colors and amazing life histories, you might just find the itch to start chasing butterflies. Make 2024 the year of the butterflies!
