Saturday, 9/17- Lighthouse Point Park was not only home for the Hawk  
Festival, it was also home to 18 species of butterflies.  The list for the  day is as 
follows:
 
Black Swallowtail (4) (all males)
Checkered White (1) (male)
Cabbage White (5)
Clouded Sulphur (15)
Orange Sulphur (6)
Cloudless Sulphur (2)
Gray Hairstreak (3)

American Lady (2)
Painted Lady (8)
Red Admiral (1)
Monarch (46) (including 31 tagged by Rich Chyinski)
Fiery Skipper (3 males, 1 female)
Tawny-edged Skipper (1) (This ties the record late date for the  species.  If 
anyone sees it after today, please let me know.)
Ocola Skipper (1)
 
The Checkered White was patrolling a section of barren land between  the 
concrete barriers west of the Hawk Watch and the water, just north of  the picnic 
area.  However, it could be found anywhere in the park where  there is barren 
ground.
