    Jeff Gaskin writes, May 27:  I saw a Western Tiger Swallowtail fly across Sooke Road near the Colwood exit,  a Satyr Comma at Fisher’s Field, a Mourning Cloak along Veteran’s Memorial Parkway south of Kelly Road,  and a second Mourning Cloak on the Galloping Goose trail near Hatley Park memorial gardens.  The only other butterflies I saw today were Cabbage Whites – some nine of them.
