Eric,
There is a good chance they are Red Admirals.  There is a huge movement underway.  I have been seeing them in the 10s-100s everywhere I go in the Cincinnati area the past few days.
Cheers,

I heard first of the year for me Savannah sparrows today.

And I was outdoors all day long today. I began to notice small
butterflies or moths early in the morning in small groups of 2-5 all headed
north. Weather at home, in town, at the softball or baseball fields, or
while I was grilling there was a constant flow of them literally all day
long. I began to count them at one point during the ballgame and stopped at
over 100 in a short amount of time. I had to see 500+ today alone. I began
to be amazed at what has to be an astronomical number statewide or
nationally if I am seeing that many in my small field of vision. Anyone
know the species or details?
