Migratory Butterflies
Yesterday morning there were dozens (perhaps hundreds) of these butterflies on my early spring bulbs in the garden (I couldn't get a photo of them en masse as they flew away every time I went out there to try to get a photo). I wondered if they were migrating and.....yes (!), they were. Apparently they are Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) and my garden was a stop on their spring northward migration. So exciting!
