I mail you on this list so everyone will get the message that those were stray posts going to the wrong list rather than using TN-Birds as a regular list for the butterflies.

We almost never have Monarchs on our count (too early up here on the plateau), and didn't again this year. Overall, our numbers on all large species were down, probably due to drought and high temps at the time of the count. I have seen a few Monarchs around in the latter half of the summer; not a lot, but some. ***** David B.

It made me realize that I cannot recall seeing any, and we usually have quite a few in our display gardens. Anyone have any real numbers?
