Description
After checking out the sunrise off the Blue Ridge Parkway I noticed a few monarch butterflies fluttering around the rock face of the mountain as I headed home. The difficult part is watching out for vehicles coming around the curve, and causing updraft as the butterfly is taken up and away.
"Scientists think North American monarchs have been making their amazing annual journey for thousands of years. But logging in Mexico has greatly reduced forests where these butterflies roost. Efforts to protect these lands are helping, but illegal logging still takes a toll. Since 1983, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed the monarch migration as a ("threatened phenomena.")"
