red admirals

[Steve Walter]

When I saw the subject line, I was expecting to hear of bigger doings. Here
in the New York City area, we are getting inundated with Red Admirals. In
downtown Manhattan today, I saw a number moving northward. Later on in
Queens, while driving home from the train station, there were Red Admirals
to be seen the whole way bounding northward. I finally went to do some
birding in Alley Pond Park and there must of have been hundreds. They were
along the trails and at all levels up to the tree tops (being quite a
distraction in efforts to spot birds). It should be interesting when I get
down to the coast over the weekend.

This afternoon in Deep River--at least two Red Admirals, one checking out
the plants for sale outside of Adams supermarket.
