Butterflies

We have been seeing quite a few butterflies about.  WE found out that this area is part of the migration route for Monarch Butterflies.  It is believed that eastern Monarchs travel along the Gulf Coast rather than fly across the open water.  Out in Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge they are actually capturing Monarchs and other butterflies as part of a program to study their migration habits.

A few monarch images captured this fall in Alabama.
