2026-05-24: Late Spring up on Hallasan

A lovely hike up Hallasan in lovely late May weather. Warm, sunny, a little breezy, not hot, with some cloud coming in but no rain. The mission was birds, plants, as well as butterflies, and we came out pretty good. Lots of breeding birds and a few migrants way up there. So many beautiful flowers of all types. Some unique butterflies that aren't found in many other parts of the country.
