I see lots of Wood Nymph & Northern Pearly-eye butterflies every day and also what are probably the Cabbage White and Sulphur butterflies too but most of the time the keep moving and I am not sure of their identifications. Monarch Butterflies are few and far between this year. I usually only see one a day.
