Red Admiral Migration
Maury,
I normally would not have posted I shot at this distance, but Dr. Royce J. Bitzer, Iowa State entomology department, is conducting a study of Red Admiral migration. I have been going through my archives for all the Red Admirals I never posted because of the quality. Thanks for mentioning, so when I post them I will comment on the purpose.
Robert
