first Monarch for 2009

[Craig McL]

to day I spent some time butterflying Halls rd south in Whitby  come
12 noon thay wear every wear not in big numbers  but I did see my
first Monarch for 2009 , a very fresh mail !  

also seen Spring Azure 2
               Clouded Sulphur 3
               Northern Crescent 5
               Cabbage White    4


P.S.   I am trying to see if the fields south west of Halls rd south
can be mark as a Butterfly area! This is just in the planning. ( my
own ) right now and it will be hard to have the Boy scout trees
removed BUT I think its worth it ,


this is one of the best fields in the GTA for Butterflies migrating
and rearing , I am looking for any records for this area to put
together a list and for backing my cases with the conservation
authorities.


If you have records please forward them to me at csam@sympatico.ca
