Hi Royce.
They came in one wave during that 20 min. period with stragglers coming through sparingly. I saw one butterfly today.
I have a butterfly garden but they didn't stop long enough to visit.
Is this sighting unusual for this area and/or time of year? I never saw such a sight before. More... |
