Where are the Butterflies?

The common milkweed, Asclepias syrica, is blooming in our meadow.

The swamp milkweed, Asclepias incarnata, is blooming in the wetland.

The butterfly weed, Asclepias tuberosa, is blooming in the meadow.  But where are the butterflies!  If you see a Monarch let me know.

I did see an eastern tailed-blue, and plenty of cabbage whites, but no others.

What is this strange thing in the puddle.

A robin taking a bath!

Apartment reconstruction moves ahead.

A downy on the suet, and a hairy on the peanuts.

Someone pointed me in the direction of this magnolia, but it was already opened wide, and difficult to get in the dappled shade.
