Seen in a naturalized area of the park, consisting of trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. Flowers were primarily goldenrod. Asters have just come into flower, and Scotch thistle nearly at an end. All Monarchs were feeding...I did not see any flying purposely.
I counted everything I was able to see from the periphery (took 15 minutes). Temperature 22C, with wind from the west 24km/hr, gusting to 37km/hr.
The individual in the photo had a bug clinging to it's wing, and landed in the grass. I wasn't able to make out the species (needed my glasses).
