Warm December

[Mark Walker]

It was cold for awhile down here in SoCal, but we had a blast of Santa Ana
winds which brought the daytime temperatures well into the 70's.  Lots of P.
rapae on the wing, and even a few Fiery Skippers.  Haven't seen a Gulf
Fritillary, but I'm pleased to hear they're flying all the way up to
'Frisco.  Enjoy.
