San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) 20100101 vector digital data http://bios.dfg.ca.gov The wandering skipper (Panoquina errans) is a small butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is identifiable by its rich dark brown color and cream-colored spots on the dorsal forewing. The wandering skipper is found only along the coast in southern California, Baja California and northwestern mainland Mexico. Populations have been recorded from Huntington Beach, Upper Newport Bay, and Capistrano Beach. In San Diego, the wandering skipper has been documented in the Tijuana Estuary, San Dieguito Lagoon, and Agua Hedionda lagoon, but it appears that no extensive survey data have been published. The five lagoons surveyed were San Elijo, Los Penasquitos, Kendall-Frost, Famosa Slough, and Sweetwater marsh. Butterflies were detected using a Pollard walk with two observers moving along a line through potential habitat. Binoculars were used to aid visual identification. A handheld GPS unit was used to record the location of each individual detected; photos were taken when possible to confirm identification. Salt grass patches were also recorded using a handheld GPS device. Surveys were conducted in August through September of 2010 between the hours of 10am and 3pm. Temperature, wind speed, and cloud cover were recorded. This datalayer is a point file containing observations of the wandering skipper. Each of the 170 points represents an individual observation. The surveys were conducted by San Diego Associatation of Governments (SANDAG) staff and others. The motivation for this survey was to determine the presence-absence of the wandering skippering in five other lagoons and gather a relative abundance where they were found. 20100801 20100901 ground condition In work As needed -117.287151 -117.091442 33.012779 32.638966 None salt marsh butterflies wandering skipper ISO 19115 Topic Category biota environment None San Diego San Diego County California None Contact SANDAG San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Keith Greer 619-699-7390 kgr@sandag.org San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; Esri ArcGIS 10.3.1.4959 The original shapefile was created in ArcGIS 10.
