No shortage of butterflies at Shenandoah National Park. With an abundance of Milkweed and Wild Bergemont, butterflies are thriving. Most overlooks are in the sun and sport healthy Milkweed plants, in bloom now. That is no surprise, Milkweed has always been touted as butterfly food and a place for them to lay their eggs. It seemed the Bergemont was attracting just as many or more. Turks Cap was in the mix too.
While photographing butterflies, I kept hearing the "chick burr" call of a Scarlet Tanager. Usually they are heard and not seen but this guy was standing on a branch right above.
