Description/Notes: 
I am in central New Jersey, Milltown, to be exact. Latitude is 40.45N & longitude -74.434W. I saw my first & only Red Admiral on 5/14/10. But today it is amazing. At 11:00 am EST, I was outside for 10 minutes & counted 8 red Admirals flying fast (on a mission) in a north direction. It is non-stop. Today is the first day in a while that it has been warm & sunny, so I would guess they are taking advantage of the lovely weather.... Suzanne
