A few Marches ago, I was out hiking up a foothills canyon. There was still plenty of snow on the ground and I was struggling. I paused to catch my breath, and there, flying above the snow, was a mourning cloak butterfly! I couldn’t believe it, but I’v since learned that it is not uncommon to see them over ski slopes on warm days. Never encountered them there myself, but still…amazing!

I hope you see one! They are always one of the first butterflies I see here in the Spring.
