We also noticed a very large number of painted lady butterflies today – in Seneca County. Mostly in overgrown fields of goldenrod and aster. Also many monarchs – migrating and in the fields.

Thanks not bird related directly (though might relate to food for birds) have bird watchers noted large numbers of painted lady butterflies moving around randomly Sat Sept 23? I saw hundreds in an overgrown area with milkweed today in eastern Wayne Co. Curious as to how widespread this was- Thanks for any observations thank On Sat, Sep 23, 2017 at 11:30 AM, Jay McGowan <jw...@cornell.edu<mailto:jw...@cornell.edu>> wrote: The highlight so far at Montezuma this morning was a WILSON'S PHALAROPE at the visitor center pool, which is very good shorebird habitat at the moment. I heard a second hand report of a possible Buff-breasted there as well, but we did not see one.
