Butterflies and Hummingbirds
Monarchs all over again, Hackberries on the bananas. Still haven't seen any Buckeyes near by though.
A couple more Monarchs formed their J-shape.
The hummingbirds are everywhere! One has been all over the cardinal flower.
Saw a hummingbird moth too!
6:30 - update -
just saw a male Tiger Swallowtail in the garden. It was nectaring at the sunflowers, butterfly bush and mountain mint. That was the first time I've ever seen a butterfly at the mountain mint, so far only the bees have been interested.
There were 3 Hackberries on one of the bananas all at the same time too - I got a picture.
I need a digital camera!
