If you think you're seeing more Red Admiral butterflies than usual, you're right! 
   We had a half-dozen on the Marsh Discovery Trail at DeKorte in less than an hour last week. The one above was photographed at the Kearny marsh.
   NJ Audubon's Sandy Hook Bird Observatory had more than a hundred last week.
   But it turns out that Red Admirals are having a banner year a lot of places, including the Great Lakes and Quebec.  (Thanks, Deedee!)
