The
big push has now gone through - for the fall Monarch Butterfly
migration...they're still trickling through but not in the high numbers
of a week back. We had over a hundred at our highest one evening and
morning. This was nothing like 15 years ago when that number was over a
thousand and more, but it is a slight improvement over just a couple
years ago when a dozen was not attainable.
