Wings Over Metaline Falls

Washington Butterfly Association Seventh Annual Study Weekend, Metaline Falls, Washington, July 14 – 16, 2006

This year’s conference explores Metaline Falls in the northeastern corner of Washington State. With moist boreal forests and boggy meadows, this area is rich with butterflies. We may find Silver-bordered Fritillaries (Boloria selene) and Queen Alexandra’s Sulphur (Colias alexandra). Pend Oreille County boasts 14 skipper species, including the Long Dash (Polites mystic) and Peck’s Skipper (Polites peckius). Enjoy all the butterflies this area offers in July; sign up by sending in your registration form now. Historic Metaline Falls lies on the scenic Pend Oreille River. In this remote area, accommodations are limited, so book your lodging well in advance.
