Oh well done! Thanks for sharing their maiden voyages with us.
It's cool the way they're cocoons are stuck to the lid.
I ment "the cocoons". Sorry.
Wow! I followed them live on Google Earth. It's beautiful!
Yeah! The newbies looked a little jittery too.
And the musical accompaniment was perfect.
How sweet and sad. It's always difficult to let critters go when you've helped them along, but they look healthy and happy, so they'll be fine. The second butterfly looked like it wanted a hug before leaving.
I like background the music as well. One of my favorite is guitarists is Julian Bream.
Rushmore soundtrack? You a fan? I know you're married, but I might just be falling in love.
Great video. I'm looking forward to the fall/winter migration of the monarch butterflies. They usually begin to show up around here in California the middle/end of October. Do butterflies use the same migration flyways as birds do?
