New Sighting
9:15-1:30, primarily along auto-tour dikes. Temp ~60-70, sunny, breezy, beautiful day. A couple of probable clouded sulphurs (or hybrids). One white form clouded/orange. One white form cloudless. Only Am lady seen was so recently emerged it was reluctant to fly. Q'mark and red admiral also seemed very fresh. Monarchs apparently not on-the-move, instead mostly making short flights among seaside goldenrod.
