For any butterfly watchers out there, I just want to note that today(Friday) was Red Admiral day in Central Park, at least in the North. Actually,the first one I saw was at the corner of 89 St and 2nd Ave. There were hundreds, all over the place. And they like to sun on the sides of trees, so they're easy to get a look at. Also saw several Commas, American Painted Ladies and (regular) Painted Ladies.
