The Monarch butterfly migration is underway. The swallows departed several weeks ago and they are being followed by the butterflies.
Getting photos of the Monarch's isn't easy. They don't travel when it is raining. They don't travel when the wind is blowing in the wrong direction. These cold blooded, fragile creatures persevere. So when the wind shifts and the air warms, they travel by us in a steady stream.
The storms left the area early this morning and by noon the butterflies were travelling. By sunset there was a steady stream, fluttering by and buffeted by the wind currents.
