At the dy= kes there=2C there were at least 3 Black Swallowtails (Papilio polyxenes)= =2C as well as the usual cabbages=2C sulphurs=2C and browns (perhaps satyrs= or wood nymphs - I did not get a good look). All these except the monarch= had also been there the last time I visited=2C on August 5. Although there seems to be plenty of milkweed (Asclepias syriaca=2C I think= ) at the entrance to Miner's Marsh=2C including some in bloom on Aug 11. I = did not see any monarchs in that area.
