my mannnnnnn. my mans in tha millrace

First one I've seen in town! On a non-stop flight through the neighborhood.

First adult monarch I have seen this year in my yard. She oviposited, too, on one stem in my backyard patch of planted showy milkweed. Later found 4 eggs.

Continuing along the Mt Pisgah summit trail about 0.4 miles from the west trailhead, first reported here by other birders on May 21, singing and conspicuous.

Observed spending time in maple tree and in lupinus rivularis plant. The monarch flew around my milkweed patch but did not lay any eggs that I have found yet.

Seen right in the middle of the bike path in sunny dry 60 degree weather.
Very slow to move but seemed otherwise fine

Linn County

Light variation Calypso

Didn’t seem to be doing super well. Second photo is as found. Almost certainly a recapture

Benton County

Pretty amazing animals

xylaria Big

Burned conifer forest, found at the bottom of the trail leading up to the site.

On Odell butte with spring orange peel, Oregon boxwood and pine
