Today, Wednesday, the sky is filled with a major Monarch migration that covers the area from Camp Wood, Uvalde, Barksdale, and probably Rock Springs. They are coming out of the East and are headed South & South West.

They will spend the night in the Pecan trees along the Nueces River because that is what they always do, though how they know to go there is as mysterious as how they know to go to Mexico.

These Monarchs are larger than the ones that I wrote you about that had been coming since the middle of September.

The weatherman Steve on San Antonio 12 says a front will come through on Sunday night bringing thunderstorms and cool weather in the 50's. I hope the Monarchs beat the front.
