Fantastic! Do you think that the anecdotal observations that you and we (
northern Franklin County) have noted this fall could possibly be a sign that
the Monarch population is faring better overall? I know it’s just a snippet of
the overall migration, but fingers crossed!
What would we do without nature? I never want to know!

If you are able to, go outside right now with your binocs and scan the sky .
. . if other places at least in north-central KY are like our farm, there are
*hundreds* of Monarchs going over. I saw three "birds" in a flock a few
minutes ago and realized they were Monarchs. Then I started scanning overhead
and there are one's and twos and threes not visible to my naked eye but
visible in binocs! Others "thermaling up" like raptors getting higher into
the sky.
We have the slightest northeast breeze at Louisville this morning and instead
of being down low they are all up high . . . and soo many!
