They must have mistaken Park Point for the beaches of Mexico.

my buddy paul (not you, lundgren) was down @ the beach with his dogs and said he rescued 40-50 butterflies by picking them up off the sand and placing them on his body so they'd dry off.

Now that would have made a great photo-i have seen a few flying around my yard early in the week,they seemed to be attracted to the mud by the garden

Good work, Paul! My wife, Sunny, did the same today.

Hm. Looks like my spray worked.

A few years back I found a dead hawk while walking my dog on the beach. I thought it might be west-nile related so I picked it up in a poo bag and called someone from hawks ridge and dropped it off at his house. He told me it was a sharp shinned hawk and said that this happens to many migrating birds that get caught trying to cross the big lake in the spring. The cold air from the lake causes a down draft and requires much more effort to maintain flight. Migrating birds have already exerted so much energy to get this far north that they cant stay aloft and fall in and drown. Maybe this is happening to the butterflies too?

Reporting from the field: Many dead butterflies on the beaches of Stoney Point Road and at Brighton Beach. Oh, the humanity.
After drying off do they fly away????
So let's talk about phobias. Mine are butterflies! You may laugh until you admit yours.
yikes
