walked along the welland recreational canal today and found several monarch eggs. had checked this milkweed yesterday june o9 and there was no eggs so they were laid today. the milkweed is about a foot high and very plentiful, more then last year. as i reported earlier, i have seen quite a few yellow swallowtails this year, i have never seen any before in this area where i have lived for nine years. we are very fortunate here because the recreational canal committee has ensured that the milkweed is not mowed down. they leave a fair distance beside the canal to grow wild which supports many different types of wildlife. we also have old unused railtracks which has plenty of milkweed beside it. let's hope this year is a good one for monarchs everywhere.

Editor's Note: The presence of eggs means an adult monarchs has arrived in this area. Therefore, we are adding this egg report to the migration map.
