It's still cool here and phenological reports are running late.  There still
are very few butterflies except for the small group that overwinters as adults
(Polygonia comma, P. interrogationis, Aglais milberti, Mymphalis vau-album, N.
antiopa and a few otherws which have not yet been reported).

  Only a few returning migrants:

Vanessa cardui previously reported at Madison WI 04/22,
  first seen at Green Bay aproximately Lat 49 30  Long 87 55 on
  04/26

Vanessa atalanta reported by 2 people from Riveredge Nature Center
  approximately Lat 43 22 Long 87 55 on 04/23

That's all from here.  I'd appreciate hearing of any first sightings for Pieris
virginiensis anywhere in northeastern USA.
