There are some things a person may only see once during their lifetime and I believe this may be one of those events. Thousands of Monarch Butterflies had gathered in a little area of Moose Lake Provincial Park one very windy mid-August day. They were in the air, on the ground and hanging from tree branches like bunches of grapes. I am not sure but I think it was just too windy for them to fly across the Lake of the Woods Boundary waters between Canada and the United States so they just gathered in this remote little area of the park where we happened upon them while on a trail. Enjoy the photos of what I believe was part of the great Monarch Butterfly migration. It was an amazing sight!
Enjoy!

More photos of the Spruce Grouse – this time during the late winter months. I love the photo below showing the beautiful fanned tail of the male grouse walking into the seemingly endless winter white.
A female Spruce Grouse feathers all fluffed up . . .
Below: A male Spruce Grouse strutting and courting a female (late March).

Below: A male Spruce Grouse in the boreal forest underbrush. Note the red feathered eyebrows during courting season. Yes – you’re a handsome one!
Enjoy!

Today, some photos of a “Bird in Hand“. Grey Jays are very bold birds and don’t have a problem with human contact if the reward of food is involved. The jay is surprising light and gentle for their size.
Enjoy!
