The excellent weather continued today with a clear sky and temperatures in the mid-50s during the late morning. The wind was blowing from the north at 10 to 20 miles an hour. Monarch migrating activity continued at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, but the numbers were down from the previous day. Observations for two and one-half hours turned up 202 monarchs. Away from the refuge and in our butterfly garden, other monarchs were noted moving to the south.
