On Saturday, 10/6, I decided to take advantage of the warm sunny weather  and 
visited the park in the afternoon.  The list for the day is as  follows:
 
Pipevine Swallowtail (2) (Both individuals flew west  across the park towards 
the harbor without stopping.  These sightings,  together with the reports 
earlier this week from Harkness Park and Niantic,  suggest that this species is 
migrating along the coast in numbers.)
Black Swallowtail (1) (male)
Cabbage White (5)
Clouded Sulphur (16)
Orange Sulphur (18)
Cloudless Sulphur (2+) (at least 1 female) 
Eastern Tailed Blue (1)
American Lady (3)
Common Buckeye (4)
Monarch (310) (Because of the unfavorable southwest wind, Monarchs were  
roosting in numbers) 
Wild Indigo Duskywing (1) (probably a record late date for the species in  
the state)
Fiery Skipper (6) (5 males, 1 female)
Sachem (1) (male. This individual was found by Jay Kaplan and is probably a  
record late date for the species in the state)
