monarchs

[Roy Zartarian]

Up here in Newington yesterday I counted 7 gliding southwards while I 
was on the ladder scraping shutters.  In the back yard white-throated 
sparrows were at the feeders.  I do believe that summer is officially over.

There were a lot of people at Hammo--using the holiday for a last beach day, I guess.  In the butterfly garden, I found at least two dozen monarchs, nectaring on the remains of the buddleia and those yellow daisy-looking flowers (what are they??)  Aside from them, I only saw two cabbage whites and a few moths.
