Google Earth can be used to present results from butterflying trips, too.
Attached is an experimental kml file I created after a trip to Grainger County
last summer. (kml files are opened by Google Earth in the same way that html
files are opened by Internet Explorer, so you won't be able to use this file
unless you have Google Earth installed.)
This kml file shows the locations of the butterflies found, and the placemarks
have links to the actual images from that trip. Click on the photo thumbnails
to go to photobucket for full-size photos.
You can also open this example kml file with any text editor to take a look at
the syntax of the language, if you're interested.

Google Earth is a great tool for scoping out possible butterflying spots. I
would recommend that anyone with a highspeed connection download the program
and take a look around. It's a lot of fun!

My area was just added to Google Street View although their system for
finding addresses has some problems. If you search my true address, you'll end
up a few miles away but if you use this address, 7632 Tennessee 200, Beech
Bluff, TN 38313 you'll end up at the end of my driveway. The street name,
address, city and zip code are all wrong but for some reason it works.
