First Monarch

This is a terrible photo, but I did see my first Monarch of the season on Thursday. This is probably a female, as the butterfly was flying from milkweed to milkweed, and not nectaring. This gives me 20 species I have seen for July at Foulkeways. I did see some "Black swallowtails", but they may all have been female tiger swallowtails.
This song sparrow has an itch.

Here are male and female tiger swallowtils - aren't they grand. I will be away for the next week.
