Audubon trip Trip on April 15 2012
On April 15th 2012 the Cape Fear Audubon hosted a field trip to Holly Shelter Gamelands with several plant and butterfly experts. One of these people included Jeff Jippen who was an expert on butterflys from Duke Univirsity. We saw many common plants, insects, reptiles, amphibians and birds, as well as many uncommon to rare species. Some highlights of this trip includes the sight of a Forest Service Helicoper that was helping the forest service fight a distant fire, and the local abundance of a rare and endangered butterfly called the Frosted Elfin. We went off trail to find some of these plants and butterflies. The tour lasted from 1-4 and we had a great turn out.
