My wife Linda and I are just back from spending a day and a half on
Brier Island. We did reasonably well regarding butterflies:
* *Red Admiral*: Half a dozen or so around the wild flowers near the
weather instruments at North Light
* *Painted Lady: *One at North Light yesterday
* *Clouded Sulphur*: Maybe a dozen or more, pretty much everywhere.
Dozens along the drive down Digby Neck and Long Island. Many of them
were the green females.
* *Orange Sulphur*: four or five at the Western Light area
* *Cabbage Butterfly*: only two or three
* *Mourning Cloak*: Half a dozen in various areas - quite fresh.
* *Monarch*: two or three at the Western Light and one at the North
Light this morning.
Oh yes - there were thousands of Northern Flickers, four simultaneous
kettles of Broadwings totaling perhaps 800 individuals, lots of Merlins
and Sharpies chasing the flickers around, and a scattering of other
species. Many Gannets heading south.
