Monarchs on a Mission

J+M+J

Last Wednesday, September 9, I was sitting at the kitchen table doing my school. I noticed three or four monarch butterflies flying past our window in a span of about a half an hour.  They were flying very close to the window, so I decided that I would try to take a picture of one. I lifted up my camera to focus it, and another flew past, and then another. I hadn’t been expecting them, so I didn’t get a photo, but I decided I had a good chance of getting a nice picture outside since there were so many. When I was outside, I was astonished by the number of monarchs I saw. There was not one moment that there wasn’t a butterfly in sight.

All of the butterflies were flying southward, except one. He was looking for a snack, which he found on my coneflowers.
