Concord and Lincoln Butterflies

I planned to walk at Drumlin Farm in Lincoln, but first I wanted to stop at Nine Acres Corner in Concord.  They were half finished with mowing the meadow and destroying the habitat.  Hope any remaining monarch caterpillars are ok.....(even though I know they are doomed).

      Thanks, Nick! The female was nectaring and the male would not leave her alone, so I had ample opportunity to take photos. That is the first time I have seen the orange spots on the top of the female's wings.
