If that was the 9th when you spotted that Heron, perhaps it was looking for some shelter inland as the 8th was a very windy day on the lake. I once saw a heron in my back yard up near Victoria years ago during a very violent summer storm.

Could be - I remember there were several blustery days about then

Have yet to see a single butterfly here in urban Toronto, let alone a Monarch. Last year, I counted five Monarchs. They are in decline.

Many insects are in decline - here we usually see the Monarchs in the second half of summer. Don’t lose hope.
