Butterflies and Skippersmore on 8/14/2006
Dear Bugman,
Saturday afternoon, 8/19/2006, I was on the summit of the "South Sister," 10,400, maybe 80 miles south of Timothy Lake, OR. There we saw thousands of Nymphalis califonica flying up the cone and along the rim of the volcanic summit. Perhaps those seen by Jennifer and her son on 8/14/2006? ;o) Attached is a picture taken at the summit. It was awesome to witness!
