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.
