First Butterfly

I saw my first butterfly of the season yesterday at Riverwood, a Mourning Cloak.

Wow, this is great to know!  Will definitely be looking for butterflies, especially with tomorrow and Saturday's forecast.  

thouc .... did you report your sighting to Ontario Butterflies (Google group) or ebutterfly.ca  ?

Great find thouc.  Thanks for posting.

cool....have not been thinking about  butterflies yet, last year with  the warm weather, we had so many early sightings. This year, I suspect will not be the same.

I had 2 mourning cloaks yesterday in Erindale Park.

Butterfly hunters take your marks! Sunny breaks and warmer temperatures look probable for this afternoon.

Good prediction! I had my first Mourning Cloak in my backyard just now.

Yippee, Mourning Cloak at Maplewood Park, 1pm - first sighting for this Spring!  

Weather:  sun/cloud, wind gusts 61 km/hr, +18c.  Wow!  

(East side of Glen Erin Dr., just North of Aquitaine Ave.)

I saw my first butterfly of the season yesterday at Riverwood, a Mourning Cloak.

Same this year, just some days later.

I think this is an Eastern Comma (let me know if I'm wrong), at Riverdale Farm today. My first butterfly of the year!

Finally saw my first butterfly of the year, a mourning cloak in Earl Bales Park. Later on a half hour visit to Bestview Park was rewarded with 3 mourning cloaks and at least 5 (and probably more!) eastern commas.
