That is a precious picture! Lovely spring colors. I wish I was closer, too. It sounds like it will be a fantastic evening.
Ooops! I can't make it but I wish I could...you'll be there, right? Mrs. Monarch?
Many have been seeing butterflies around here but I have not seen them yet! Just has to be any day now!
What a beautiful picture. I can't wait until we have some butterflies flitting around the garden. I have seen a Mourning Cloak, Sulfur and a Cabbage white so far this spring.
What a beautiful photo. I saw a mourning cloak on Saturday by Long Lake.
Maybe you'll have to start a SE MN chapter.
Beautiful!
Each year I've become a little more interested in butterflies. Maybe that's a sign that I'm starting to become a more experienced birder.
Hi April,
The picture is one I took last summer. I'm ready to see butterflies again too.
Hi Mare,
I won't be able to make it either. I'll have to check some "local listings" to see if there are any community ed classes coming up.
Hi Mon@rch,
I saw a report of a Mourning Cloak near Duluth last weekend. Shouldn't be too long for us now (hopefully!)
Hi Lisa,
I'm glad you're seeing some butterflies and they're also finding some flowers to enjoy in your neck of the woods.
Hi Marsha,
Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the NABA website and there's no SE MN chapter, so I sent them an inquiry about information for getting one started. I know there's a lot of butterfly people around Rochester, so maybe we can get something started.
Thank you Chriss (thanks for stopping by my blog too)
Hi Larry,
You ARE becoming a more experienced birder, and just the fact that you're spending more time outside watching birds puts you in touch with more butterflies (not a bad hobby either!)
Wish I could go :(
