Butterfly Migration 9 '10



 BJ and I  just realized this year that we are living on the Eastern butterfly migration route.  From September through October there was wave after wave of butterflies floating through on their way south.   We counted at least nine different species.  Sometimes there were so many in the air that it looked like falling leaves… except that the leaves hadn’t changed colors yet.  It was especially noticeable near the ocean where there were not trees to force them into higher elevations.  Walking along the beach was like being on a freeway of colored wings.
