The next Eugene Birders Night (SWOC) meeting will be held Monday February
15, 2016 at 7 pm at the McNail-Riley house, 601 W 13th Ave, Eugene. The
McNail-Riley House is the restored historic house at the NW corner of W.
13th Ave. and Jefferson St. The parking area, located immediately west of
the McNail-Riley House, can be accessed from Jefferson St. via the driveway
located immediately north of the M-R House, or from W. 13th Ave. and a
driveway west of the M-R House.
After initial introductions, we’ll share recent sightings and discuss
birding connected topics. Rick Ahrens will then present a program on
“South Texas - Butterflies (lots), Birds (a few), and Beyond (??)
at the Border”
If you've run out of "lifer" bird possibilities on your North American
list, why not switch to butterflies? In the lower three counties of Texas
more than 300 butterfly species have been recorded, 150 of which go no
farther north. Local naturalist Rick Ahrens has attended the Texas
Butterfly Festival the past two years and will talk about the recently
created National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas, as well
as other nearby flora and fauna.
No entrance fees! All are welcome!
