>From Frank Mantlik, with Bill Van Loan & Alec Wiggins,

9/30/2012  Stratford, near 500 Long Beach Blvd., Stew McKinney NWR, RR Trail - 
Butterflies were abundant during our afternoon birding walk here this afternoon 
(1:30 - 3:30pm), highlighted by another LITTLE YELLOW at the start of the trail, 
and 100+ Red Admirals all along, especially on/around the abundant flowering 
Groundsel-Tree.

LITTLE YELLOW (1) - photos
Cabbage White (6)
Clouded Sulphur (2)
Orange Sulphur (8)
Eastern Tailed Blue (3)
Question Mark (3+)
Mourning Cloak (5+)
Red Admiral (100+)
Common Buckeye (3)
Monarch (12)
No skippers seen!

Bill Van Loan also told me that while at Stratford Point recently (in the past 
month?), he saw an AMERICAN SNOUT and a COMMON CHECKERED SKIPPER.  He was going 
to get the info (date, photos?) to me soon, but I thought it was worth reported 
them here now.
