Filming Monarch Butterflies

Filming Monarch Butterflies

Sat, Aug 29, 1:00 PM
From Wildlife Filming Club

We are going to film monarch butterflies! Every year, monarch butterflies gather here to prepare for their extraordinary southbound migration to Mexico. Late August is the peak time to see that transition, offering rare opportunities to film colorful close-ups, aerial courtships, and, with some luck, the first signs of their epic mass migration. Other possible sightings include swallows and great blue herons.
