warm december/east bay fritilary sightings

[Anne Kilmer]

On St Simon's Island, Georgia (a coastal island) Dec. 27, a bright sunny
day, we watched a gulf fritillary (Agraulis vanillae), a yellow
butterfly (probably cloudless sulphur, Phoebis sennae) and a monarch or
viceroy or some such parading across the swimming pool, heading west,
about a half-hour apart.
Breakfast time ... and Heaven knows what they were feeding on.  Well,
there's a dog beach there ...

entourage. And a happy New Year to all of you.
