We have been seeing Monarchs since Sunday, the 8th and it is the usual time when we see them. The only difference is other years we usually see thousands of them but we first noticed them the outside temperature was in the nineties and there were only a couple hundred. They usually roost in our cedar trees and are so heavy that you can't see the green of the cedar. This year they are far and few between, but it's early and a couple of hundred are better than none. We will keep waiting and watching. A cold front is supposed to go through later this week. We will keep you posted.
