In over 20 years of tracking spring migration, we have never seen so many monarchs in Texas with such severely damaged wings. Presumably survivors of the March storm in Mexico, these tattered butterflies flew hundreds of miles to their breeding grounds. Thanks to the images people have contributed, we can document this amazing feat. |

"Boy oh boy...this brave soldier has had an amazing journey this season. I saw him spending his final days in a thistle field nectaring on the hundreds of purple thistle blooming there. Simply incredible....what a trooper!!"
