actually, that is a yellow swallow tail, monarchs are orange. I thought these were monarchs forever, just recently found out otherwise

Ah good to know thx!

Saw this one two days ago. Must be an albino (or is there a white swallowtail I wonder?). Or I suppose it could have been floating long enough to be bleached by the sun? Looked white to naked eye.

Just for fun, some pics from the wildife safari place near eugene. Worth the trip if you've never been. It's all drive through and most of the animals aren't in a cage. The grizzlies were secured by electric fence though. Our car was about 6' away from him for the one griz shot below. Also the rhino literally blocked the road in front of us and one time threatened to charge. That alone was worth it. Makes one feel quite puny even in a vehicle.

And if IP-3 gets on the ballot, it'll probably be illegal to photograph them without written permission

I've never seen a Monarch Butterfly here. I know people have supposedly. The particular milkweeds they feed on grew all over where I lived in Utah. As kids we'd find the caterpillars feeding on the milkweeds and put them in a quart jar with holes in the lids. Keep them in fresh leaves, and eventually they'd form their chrysalis on the underside of the lid. I must have watched those thing a lot, because I remember seeing them transform to chrysalis and breaking out of it.


skip to :25/mute so you don't have to listen to that gal.

The Viceroy butterfly mimics the Monarch coloring.

Viceroy butterflies are mimics in all stages of life, adapting cleverly to look the least savory as prey - Cambridge Day

Look for viceroys now – they reach peak numbers in mid-June and again in late July – but don't mistake them for the monarch butterflies they ape.

Sasquatch doesn't eat deer! He likes twigs, nuts, and berries. And probably 'shrooms... lots of 'shrooms...

I was fine... just had to dip my tootsies into the cool, clean, babbling Columbia River water to be rejuvenated from this oppressive heat of late.

Now, back to the woods! You'll never find me! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

All we have to do is follow the trail of empty jerky wrappers!

This is just two trailcam videos put together. The first shows elk going through, then the second shows a lion running through hunting them. Then near the end you see running in the mirror. Closest timeframe I've caught between the lion and prey,,,

A neighbor at my BOL took this out his front window.

Not sure Suburban Squirrel counts as wildlife, but my furry alarm clock...

She came in last evening with twin fawns. Little rascals. Late season babies. She was drinking last night but fumble fingers didn't get a picture.
