Just back from the Fort Worth/Dallas areain Texas.  Red Admirals ALL over my mother'sblossoming privet bush for the entire two weeksof my stay.   I counted as many as ten at a time.A few American Painted Ladies,Cabbage Whites and a Tawny Emperor as well.

Rumors of a huge Red Admiral migration are true. 
Had I made an attempt to count them today at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge 
(Queens, NY) (rather than waste my time with the likes of Scarlet Tanager and 
Blackburnian Warbler), the count would easily have been in the thousands. I 
heard of large numbers seen coming in off the ocean. Lots of them showing up in 
inland parks, as well. Not a bad showing of American Ladies, too, but paling in 
comparison to Red Admirals.

  Yesterday I saw my first red admiral nectaring on my rhododendren. if you 
  go tothe website Journey Northehoward at journeynorth.org in 
   their last listing about the Monarchs journey north,they talked of a 
  huge migration of the red admirals. Looks like we will be seeing many this 
  year. Yesterday was a banner day as my first of 3 Black Swallowtail chrysalids 
  opened and a beautiful male emarged.My brand new Canon recorded the 
  event.Ruthie
