  The Monarch is one of our most common butterflies in the Sierras and are especially common in Yosemite Valley where the larvae  feed on the many milkweed plants.  The plants toxins make them unpalatable to birds.  These butterflies are found world wide but our population migrates to  the Pacific Grove area each winter.  Their populations are in decline due to the agricultural spraying of weeds which is killing a lot of the milkweed plants needed for the monarch's survival.

​What Our Clients Are Saying

"We had a great time on  a two day tour in Yosemite with Ira!  We saw all of the highlights, created some memorable photographs and had a terrific time!  Our 11 year old son was charmed and entertained with scientific challenges and games.  Traveling with a local was the way to go and Ira made our experience memorable, fun and exciting."
