Haven't seen any Monarchs in my corner of North Texas yet. They should be migrating through here on their way south about now.

They are still coming through Colorado, I bet you'll see them very soon.

Taken back in June. Usually one would be chasing the other when this close, but for some reason they were tolerating each other.

I like it when they drag their feet as they land.

Bald Eagle Takeoff sequence from this morning. A big jump up and let those powerful wings take over from there.
