Gerd Rotzell and I had a fresh American Lady on the "Shag End" 
peninsula in Shad Bay today, and also saw the first Monarch Butterfly 
that I've seen this autumn.  There were several Painted Ladies as 
well, somewhat more faded than the American Lady.  Also many Clouded 
Sulphurs, some quite white.

Cheers,

Blake
