Two Milbert's Tortoiseshells were seen on the CBA Bent of the River trip
yesterday, along with:

Tiger Swallowtails (about 5)
Spicebush Swallowtail
Clouded Sulphurs (about 10)
Orange Sulphurs (2)
Cabbage Whites
American Copper
Banded Hairstreak
Great Spangled Fritillaries (many)
Pearl Cresents (2)
Eastern Commas (lots)

They are really doing a great job of managing the habitat there - for the
birds and butterflies.
