Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) resting on Sorghum

As most know, monarchs have been pretty scarce this year. However, I did find 4 caterpillars in August, and we've seen scattered adults. Today there were three monarchs around the garden, two of them flew over to this field of Sorghum just south of the New Woods. This one was resting for awhile on the plant, perhaps taking a breather from battling the strong breeze.
