This i take on my property ,they look for place to sleep-over .
.Each year thousands of Monarch Butterflies flock to Pismo Beach. From late October to February, the butterflies cluster in the limbs of Eucalyptus trees at Pismo State Beach. While it may be winter elsewhere these insects have come 2,000 miles from Mexico every year . They like this grove as it protects them from the wind and group together to stay warm and mate. Sometimes they will burst like a great confetti balloon to fly up 100 feet and then come back to cluster together looking like brown leaves in the distance. I have seen them here 3 or 4 times over many years and its is one amazing site just 300 feet from the Pacific Ocean.

This photo was early morning and before entering the area I looked for signs to make sure I could go in and I was able to. I didn't realize it was an entrance to a hunting grounds which was down the road. This group heard the gun shots and in seconds took to the sky
There were thousands of monarchs resting in trees and plants on the south shore of Lake Erie before making the long flight to their winter resting grounds in Mexico.
I wished I could have done a better job on this but it happened so fast! I waited for another half an hour hoping another group would follow but it never happened.
Happy Thursday, Everyone!
Thank you so much for the visit and the kind comments and favs! They are very much appreciated!
Trumpeter Swans against a stormy sky. Trumpeter Swans migrate from up north, down to the more southerly areas of North America where they will stay the milder winters.

I see a lot of this going on around here. As long as the ponds and lakes don't freeze the Canada Geese will stick around.
As you can see, definitely not suitable for everyone.
