Michael, are the Red Admirals that are 100+ feet in the air in
gliding/soaring flight or powered flight?
LOOKS PRETTY POWERED.
Are the high altitude Red Admirals flying over open flat ground or over
areas with numerous obstructions in their path (e.g. trees, buildings,
etc). NUMEROUS OBSTRUCTIONS
Any idea what the wind speed and direction was when you observed the
high altitude flights? IT WAS PRETTY CALM YESTERDAY WHEN I MADE MOST OF
THE OBSERVATIONS
Are you confident the high altitude butterflies were Red Admirals and
not Virginia Ladies? I COULD ONLY GET THREE IN BINOCULARS AND THESE
WERE RED ADMIRALS.
