Today was our annual Bird and Butterfly Walk. I must thank Jan Chu very much for coming with us and teaching about butterflies. Today's weather was not the greatest for butterflies because it was cloudy, but we did see many swallowtails sailing around. The following is Jan's list for the morning. Look on the slide show to see a few of these.
