There were hundreds of butterflies and other pollinators nectaring on cowpen daisies about 10am. They were floating in/out, MOSTLY MONARCHS, but mixed in with some black swallowtails, giant swallowtails, lots of painted ladies, a few gulf fritillaries, sulfurs, and many orhers I don't know by name.
AWESOME thing to witness!! Most monarchs I've ever seen at one time/place. Plus, all the other nitterflies too!!
I wonder if the monarchs roosted in some tall, old VA pines nearby, leftover from a Christmas tree farming venture, then were fueling up when it got warmer efore they headed off toward Mexico?!
