Went to the Cunningham Ranch bottom pasture this evening, and, sure enough, we
found 34 milkweed plants (A. oenotheroides) with 14 eggs found.

We collected 12 of those, but for some reason 6 fell off the leaves and did
not seem well attached. I've never had eggs fall off like that before.

Last year eggs were first found on 3-25.

These are the smallest plants I recall for this time of year--between 1" and 4" tall.

Some multiple stems, but still small.
