Thank you all for your lovely comments. This is the first and only Monarch that I have seen this year. Thanks to Nikonian72, I now know it was a male. He didn't stick around long I got two shots then he was gone.
You must be a patient individual! Very nice! Thank you bob_71. Takes a lot of practice and trial and error. I don't use a drop mechanism so it takes a lot of shots to get a few good ones. Bob
