   Monarch Alert!   David Fraser reports a Monarch today (message sent to BCVIBRDS at 1:35 pm) in Uplands Park.  It was flying 3 m above the path from the path at the corner of Dorset and Lincoln Roads.

 

   Anne-Marie Hart saw a pristine Painted Lady yesterday morning (September 25) at her home in the Highlands.   And yesterday afternoon Jeff Gaskin saw a nice-looking California Tortoiseshell on Wascana Street, which is on the Gorge .  He remarks that it looked in very good shape.
