Saw the post earlier and then we went out to encounter numerous Monarchs, Painted Ladies and other butterflies. We wonder if some of those returns might have been of butterfly movement. The general area up here is covered with the above species. The Painteds came along in large numbers today whereas goodly numbers of Monarchs have been passing through for over a week. -- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Migration Observatory 5373 Fitzgerald Rd Burdett, NY 14818 42.443508000, -76.758202000 "Create and Conserve Habitat" --
