RE: [SBB] Easter Sunday birding

I botched this one.

Should be Rt. 46 going West, from I5 to 101. Butterflies were crossing
the road South to North.

Thanks for this note.

I suspected something was up on Sunday. Great to get the confirmation.

Was driving back from LA on Sunday PM. There appeared to more butterfly
hits in general and then I decided to take Rt. 46 East. For about a 6-7
mile stretch along Rt. 46, there was a non-stop flow of butterflies
crossing the road north to south. They must have been getting
slaugthered by the thousands given the traffic on the road but this was
probably still a drop in the bucket.

Quite a spectacle.

Mike and South Bay Birders,

This is a piece that was on NPR about Painted Lady butterflies making a
rare
migration this year to the Northwest:
