Index of Subjects We had a single Monarch in suburban Halifax (Clayton Park) in a woodland margin full of Knapweed the evening before last (July 2). This is the first one I've seen this year and I was able to get a doc shot. With this warm sunny weather, there are lots of butterflies around but have been able to document only a few with photos. Will keep working on it!
