A little late here, but I wanted to say that I saw a bright, intact,
fresh-looking Cloudless Sulphur (Phoebis sennae) at Bombay Hook NWR near
Dover, Delaware, on Friday Dec. 4, a day the high temperature reached or
exceeded around 70 (75?) degrees F.  

A Delaware birder said that there was a significant flight the weekend
before in Delaware, either at Bombay Hook, or further south in the state
around Cape Henlopen where he spent a lot of time that weekend.
