It seems to me that we are losing birds, so perhaps we have begun migration, but I could be wrong.  However, stranger things have happened with this odd climate shift that we have been having the world over.  All we can do is watch and wait, since it is barely August.  However, the good thing is, I finally have a butterfly book to identify these flying flowers.
