Monarch Butterfly finally arrives here.

Hi, Although quite a few Monarchs have been seen much further north than here, few local folks have seen any nearby. It is near the normal timeframe of Monarch arrival for us, but welcomed. Late afternoon crossing a newly planted corn field the Monarch moved steadily northeastward. In spring the Monarchs seem to be on a mission to get the their destinatin quickly. Whereas in fall it is a more leisurely trip until a cold front tells them otherwise. Here are two pics of Monarchs, one on Common Milkweed and the other on Butterfly Weed. Have a great day, Denis
