We set out today to see what butterflies we could find at the Edinburg World Birding Center. I was a good day to chase butterflies. We did manage to get rained on a little today but we didn't get that wet. We did see a few birds too but not as many as usual. I think it is because we stopped here a lot earlier in the season this time.

These guys flew so fast and rarely landed. It was really hard to get a picture of one of them. They look just like a leaf and they land close to the ground on leaves. Lee finally was able to get a picture of one of these after chasing many of them.

Well, he isn't a butterfly but it was a lot easier to get his picture!
