Butterflies of Southern Saskatchewan!
We are home from a driving tour that started on Vancouver Island with many birding and wildlife stops along the way. Some of my favourite stops were in southern Saskatchewan when I was able to reconnect with cousins I hadn't seen in 30+ years. The weather was warm and sunny and we found several butterflies, including a few "lifers" at one cousin's farm! They have many fields that have never been plowed, showing natural Prairie Grassland!
