Monarch
Danaus Plexippus
42.0248, -73.9025
Field Notes
Description:
Some monarch butterflies. I am unsure of the name of the flower, but will try to find that out once they return in the spring.
Habitat:
Blithewood Gardens, part of Bard College Campus. Right near an estuary of the Hudson River in New York.
Notes:
The day was very overcast, and the monarchs were buffeted by the wind so badly I was surprised they could keep clinging to their flowers at times!
The front monarch is a male.
