A monarch butterfly feeds on flowers in front of Portland Head Light at Fort Williams Park. The Maine Butterfly Survey says flight periods for monarchs peak in late July, which is likely the arrival of that year’s third brood, then sightings continue to ramp up, hitting its highest point in early September, as the fourth brood takes to the wing and begins the long migration south.
