Mourning cloak

Sandy and I walked around the garden to look at several of the fire sites. I picked up some lengths of cut grape vine nearby and threw them off the path...and almost on to a Mourning cloak butterfly. First of the season for FWG. A few seconds later a second one flew up. Later, after Sandy returned to the BYG, I went back to the semi-circle of the Ash woods and found the two Mourning cloaks flying together in that location. A short while later I saw two at the other side of the Old Field, and not long after that, one more near the Ravine. There were at least five today, but in fact, there might have been more as they seemed, for awhile to be everywhere, but I didn't want to double-count.
