9/16/07 Kismet, NY (40.63 N, -73.34 W)
For about 2 hours while I was on the beach, looking in any direction there were butterflies visable, all heading west. At any one time I could see clearly ten butterflies sometimes more. Understand that there were many more visible but because there were so many in the distance you could not count them. I am sure there were hundreds,and possibly a few thousand butterflies that passed us as we sat at the beach.
