Sometimes they let me pick them up . . . sometimes they fly away!

Welcome to the mon@rch nature blog and I hope you join us in some of our nature adventures through the Allegany State Park area!
I am a naturalist, field biologist and nature photographer from the Western New York area. I have started exploring nature writing through this blog and it truly has been fun sharing my numerous adventures with everyone. Occasionally some Young Naturalists will help me with my post and they will be sharing some of their nature explorations as they too are becoming young writers, photographers and naturalist.
Thank you for taking the time visiting and commenting on this blog.

I haven’t had the opportunity to photograph a Mourning Cloak yet – I can’t wait until I do! I think they are very beautiful.

Nice photo–he looks a little worn this time of year. Haven’t seen one this late.
