Chasing Monarchs

While at the library yesterday I picked up "Chasing Monarchs" by Robert Michael Pyle. This is a story of Mr Pyle's adventure of following the autumn migration of the Monarchs from Canada to Mexico. Although it is only 40 degrees outside I wanted to read with the birds. My husband says the sun is worth ten degrees, today it was 20! With only a sweater on I was warm in the sun.

Mr Cardinal came to see what I was doing. He let me know the back bird bath needed water.
When the Stealth flew over I did stop reading to take a few photos.
Jay let me know the hawk was flying.

I am learning about the Monarchs. I am taking notes. I shall start a butterfly journal with photos.
I saw a Sulpher fly over. She did not land.

  2. Welcome to my world Deb,
    I would love to fix you a cup of tea and have a visit with our bird friends!
    I also love the butterflies.
    Seems I am smitten by plants too, oh, and clouds and the moon and the stars!
    Well I also like the four legged and all sorts of bugs.
    I think I am a nature lover!
    Thank you for coming by.
