I stopped again (twice) yesterday at the same Norwich field visited on 
9/22.  Weather conditions were very different, with cool air and a brisk NW 
wind.

At 1:30 pm, I found 7 Cabbage Whites, 8 Clouded Sulphurs, 1 Orange Sulphur, 
and 1 Silver-spotted Skipper.

At 5 pm, I found 2 Cabbage Whites, 7 Clouded Sulphurs, 1 E. Tailed-Blue, 
and 1 Monarch.

I was surprised at the reduced level of butterfly (also bee and dragonfly) 
activity in just one day's time.  I had thought the cold front might 
stimulate more Monarchs to be moving, but there were far more during the 
previous day's strong southerly winds.
