A visit from Monarch Butterflies is always a treat. Tom Eckles had two chasing each other around his garden in Gualala.
Here is a photo Tom took last year of a Monarch on a Dahlia blossom.
The fall migration of Monarchs doesn't begin until next month. But we always welcome a visit from these exquisite creatures. Journey North tracks the migration of Monarch Butterflies, along with Gray Whales and various other migratory events. Their website is: https://www.learner.org/jnorth/
