Elusive Monarch Butterfly
We see lots of butterflies during our journeys out to capture the perfect bird photo. To our surprise we spotted this Monarch butterfly that stayed in one place long enough for us to capture this photo. These international travelers return to the same forests each year, and some even find the same tree that their ancestors landed on. Some estimates say up to a billion butterflies arrive in the mountains of Mexico each year. Since 1983 the Great Migration of the Monarch has been considered an endangered phenomena due to logging in Mexico.
