Thanks Pat....I know the spring has been up and down for Calgarians these last few weeks, but hopefully the snow and cold is over for this season.

Thank-you so much Debbie, Jessie and Isabelle...I enjoy your comments immensely!

Description
One of the first species of butterfly to appear in the spring is the Mourning Cloak. It overwinters as an adult, so on a warm day, it can be seen flitting about the woodlands. I observed two of these on March 29 at Rondeau Provincial Park, ON.
