Fueling Up For Migration
In October, the great monarch migration comes thru North Texas and you see them everywhere. They need fuel for their long trip. This one was enjoying some nectar from my butterfly bush. At the height of the migration you can sit in your car at a red light and see monarchs fluttering thru the intersection. If you don't already have flowers outside, consider buying some in bloom and put them out where they can be seen, the monarchs (and other pollinators) will thank you.
