Reported for the observer by Charles Cameron, Carolina Lep. Society who noted, "Other than a single sighting in North Carolina reported on March 10th, there have been no other Monarch reports on carolinaleps (a butterfly and moth listserv for the Carolinas). People have been out in eastern NC and central SC, nothing on the coast and there have not been any Monarchs on the postings. Won't report again until I get some positive postings, but this seems interesting.
