Second visit, approximately 5 individuals in open, cleared area.
So surprised to get even one recognizable shot. This monarch flew in a large circle around my yard twice. I tried to follow it with my cell phone camera using the trustee ‘point and shoot and cross your fingers’ method😁-just tried not to get dizzy while I spun around with it.
Every one of these photos is a zoomed in cell phone pic.
The first two are good enough to ID. Chose to uploaded the rest because some of them were kind of interesting considering the method, specially, the last shot where it looks completely flat in flight.
