They hilltop at the summit on warm enough afternoons, so there might be something more than randomness to it. I go to that site for the Broad-winged Hawk migration. Since that doesn’t really get going until mid-April, that is the earliest I go there. I do get the feeling that that the butterflies (Red Admiral and Painted Lady, as well) could be possible a few days earlier.

I found that I reported an American Lady at Sandy Hook, NJ on April 6, 1991, and someone else had a few at Jamaica Bay, NY on April 8. So it certainly seems plausible for April 12 in CT.  Hey, we had spring earlier this year.
