-	-	2:54	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	yes	-	A D. plexippus was seen foraging.  Swifts were also foraging.  Occasionally, a vulture flew by.  WW:  Radar was detecting more targets and showing then concentrated in convection cells (thermals).  Nothing was seen in high scans with binoculars.
322	D. plexippus	3:11	15 m	glide, flap	straight	descend, level	320	left	256	1.3 m/s	-	-	-	Butterfly started at 15 m, glided down to 1 m and began flapping.  A sharp-shinned hawk flew over.
323	D. plexippus	3:11	1 m	flap	straight, turn	level	236°	229°	257°	5.6 m/s	25.0°C	-	-	Butterfly flew straight for most of observation, then turned and headed for the woods.
324	D. plexippus	3:46	1 m	glide	straight, turn	descend	-	-	280°	5.6 m/s	-	-	-	I missed recording starting altitude.  The butterfly was gliding downwind and passed over some trees. The migrant turned around and started gliding towards the trees.
