This is and has been a remarkable year for Monarchs.
The numbers of our winter population and their concentration in their roosting areas was great to see after so many years of sparse residents.Then how early the colony dispersed;a full month earlier than in most years.They in normal years will move out of the coastal thickets during the second and third weeks of February, but by the end of third week in January they were few and far between,and inland is where last of the seasons individuals were seen.
This summer the first sight;probably a resident;was in early August,then couple of weeks later another one was sighted,and then as the weeks went by and seasons changed Monarchs sightings became a daily event.Now that we are getting the first cold fronts moving by on their way into Florida;waves of Monarchs are passing through with them.There are the most numerous butterfly be sighted in the past few days.They are so numerous that there are four to eight in view, in every direction, except straight up and down.Most are on the wing and headed to the west;these numbers this fall have not witnessed by me in decades.It will be interesting to see how many stay with us here on Alabama’s gulf coast as we get into our colder months.

Overnight we had a powerful cold front move through and by dawn our temperature was 19° and all nectar sources succumbed overnight. At just after noon I saw a Clouded Sulphur on the wing and again like midday yesterday, temperature was at 37° in full sun and breezy conditions. After seeing the Sulphur I did scour the fields to no avail.

Spent a great hour and a half today at NBC helping a couple from CA with ID’s. The Rusty-tipped Page was a flyby in bright sunlight seen by all 3 of us. Awesome sight but too fast to get a photo. It was not seen again while we were there. At least another dozen species over and above what we saw were reported by other observers in the park today. The Greenstreak was at the “Wall.”

Went out to get the mail and found quite a bit of butterfly activity by the mailbox! All on Richardia grandiflora which is blooming all over kept areas right now in Florida (this exotic ground cover is sometimes called “Florida Snow”). The butterflies love it as a nectar source. Monarchs are coming through on the cold front.

I had a good look at a male Statira Sulphur today. I thought it was a cloudless at first but it landed in an oak for a brief period. I quickly got a phone out to take a picture and it took off. Lots of butterflies today there was most likely a dingy purplewing in flight as well but it didn’t land for a confirmation. There were good winds and warm temps which is maybe how these guys turned up so far north and out of range.

I found it sitting in the parking lot, so I moved it to some dandelions and it immediately started feeding. It was a yellow female. I’m surprised it was alive after all this wind and cold temps we have had lately at night. This is the latest I’ve seen a butterfly in the northeast.
