Monarch

Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park

Superior, Arizona

 

from Wikipedia: BTA is the largest and oldest botanical garden in the state of Arizona.

 

Because the BTA is a riparian zone, the park attracts Sonoran Desert wildlife and migrating birds. Visitors have seen bobcats, javelinas, coatimundis, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, hawks, hummingbirds, and vultures. 270 bird species have been spotted in the park and the Audubon Society has designated the Arboretum as an Important Bird Area.
