Fiery Skipper (ragged)
There were two of these butterflies, the other in much better shape in terms of both wings and color, but that one was too far away to capture a picture with my phone.
I actually caught a photo of a pigeon in flight.

I’ve been spotting monarchs lately, but haven’t caught any photos until today!

The first #MonarchButterfly paused up in a tree. I was surprised I could get a clear shot.
The second monarch is injured. I couldn’t see that its wing was torn, but I could tell it was hurt by the way it was flapping its wings on the ground, trying and failing to fly. It did eventually take off, but it landed again soon after.
Bonus: a #MourningCloak from farther down the trail.

I saw a lot of #butterflies at #MadronaMarsh over the weekend, including some pale yellow ones and some black ones and even a few monarchs, plus a lot of these white and orange ones. #iNaturalist narrows them down to the Pontia & Hylephila genuses (geni?). #nature
According to biophilic1 on iNaturalist, these are a Checkered White and a Fiery Skipper.
