   The Monthly Butterfly Walk is scheduled for Sunday, October  7.   The weather forecast is not great. However, being optimists, we have not cancelled the walk and Jeremy Tatum will be at the Mount Tolmie summit at 1 p.m., rain or shine.  You never know, the sun may shine long enough for a butterfly or two to appear.  If there is steady rain, however, we are unlikely to find anything.  Although  butterflies have been scarce in September, there have been some spectacular rarities, such as Monarch, American Lady, Mourning Cloak and California Tortoiseshell.  And an Orange Sulphur is not unknown at this time of year.
