Chasing
monarchs in anticipation of catching the migration’s leading
edge, Carol Cullar, director of the Rio Bravo Nature Center, traveled
about Maverick County near Eagle Pass, Texas.
“These
winds this year are acting like a spigot turned off and on. Past
years have consisted of long, continuous streamers of monarchs
persisting for days from the same direction, down the same corridor.
Rather than a daily flow, we're getting dribs and drabs. This
could be the briefest monarch passage we've had in years.”
