[EBB Sightings] Painted Lady

I was just standing outside thinking the same thing.
About 20 min ago I counted 60 in one minute passing between me and a tree
about 100 ft across the parking lot.
All were headed to the west/north.  I am located in the Rheem Valley in
Moraga.  About 1 mile from
the Lafayette Reservoir.
