Observation notes: Warm day preceding stormy weather, butterflies in are were sunning and sipping nectar. Seems that they were conserving energy? 72-75 sunny with cool down canyon breeze. Many sitings this day, very green for such a dry year. thanks to monsoon rain. seems that our butterflies survive the cold in the warm low deserts and tropical or sub tropical areas, to repopulate the northern cold areas come the spring warmth?
