Hundreds of Monarchs and black wing butterflies with/tan tips were washed
ashore at the high water mark on the Lake Michigan beach this morning. The wind
is strong from the east. About 2 dozen of the blacks winged insects were still
alive but had sandy wings and legs tangled in algea. With help from another
beachcomber we took those still alive to the edge of the woods, cleaned away
the algae and released them in the grasses. A few recovered on the walk and
flew away. Most of the Monarchs were goners.
