Today I had a call from my botanist friend in Hiram GA and he was photographing a large Monarch nectaring in his field. He says that having Monarchs there at this time of year (or any time of year) is rare :-)
The spotter is a grower of rare plants and he is actively outside a good many hours of the day. He was thrilled to see this event.

Hiram is in Paulding County northwest of Atlanta, GA.

Spotted another Monarch nectaring on thistle at 1:30 EDT today. That is second sighting for the first two in over 4 years. Have been in drought conditions for 5 years.
