Today is the first day this year that seems like good weather for winter
butterfly flights. I'd be interested in any reports of early butterflies
flying. On any unseasonably warm day in the winter we are likely to see a
few members of the Nyphalini tribe - primarilly Milbert's Tortoiseshell,
California Tortoiseshell and Mourning Cloak, also Satry Anglewing/Comma,
Green Anglewing/Comma, Zehypr Anglewing/Comma. Cabbage Whites are also
somewhat likely and a few others are possible.
