Skywatch Friday: Seven Monarchs

Published by jeff at 10:45 am under Central America,Photography,Travel,butterflies & moths

Don’t know that I’ll become a weekly participant in Skywatch Friday, but it is Friday and I had what I thought was a cool picture of the sky, so here goes.

I took this picture November 1, just at sunrise, in the foothills of the Sierra Madre northwest of Ciudad Victoria, in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Migrating Monarch butterflies were everywhere during our trip. Hiking up a path that morning, we came upon a roosting group and watched as they began circling up into the sky, rejoining the southbound stream. ¡Buen viaje!

    You are definitely welcome to SWF any time! And this IS definitely a cool picture. The sky is fantastic, but the addition of multiple butterflies is something I have never seen. Excellent post!
