Title: First Butterfly of the Year... a Mourning Cloak
Post by: Rob'in'To on April 11, 2011, 08:21:42 PM

As the title says...  and add to that, definitely Spring is here!  Saw this one on Saturday.  I also saw it dancing or dueling with a small orange/black moth type thing for a bit (whatever it was).

Nice shot! Looks like that one has had a run-in with a bird or two. I've seen chickadees try to take them down. :lol:
