It was a beautiful, sunny day at Hammonasset State Park in Madison, CT
(on the shore of Long Island Sound). Temperature in the 60s, light
breeze. I arrived at 11:45--I know I wasn't the first one there, as the first
Monarch I spotted was already wearing tag #536 (Rich?) It must have
been lunch hour--over the next hour, I used up my fifteen tags. I probably
could have used twice as many, and they were still coming. Also saw
numerous Cabbage Whites and American Painted Ladies (not sure
whether there were a few Painted Ladies mixed in--some were very worn,
and most were flying very quickly!) Also saw one Clearwing Moth
(possibly Snowberry?) and a few sulphur sp. on the way out.
