DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:On Saturday August 22 starting a=
t 9AM, Ron Rutowski will lead a walk down Pivot Rock Canyon which is o=
n the Mogollon Rim near the junction of Highways 260 and 87. This will=
 be our second time visiting this location and so will be interesting =
to see what species are flying there.  The canyon bottom is at about 6=
800 ft, lush, and hosts a perennial stream that, along with the vegeta=
tion it supports, attracts butterflies.  We can expect the usual Rim s=
ummer butterflies, such as Silver-spotted Skipper, Atlantis Fritillary=
, and Queen Alexandra’s Sulphur, but there is sure to be an interestin=
g variety of other species flying. (Silver-spotted Skipper pictured)=0=
