I caught a quick glimpse this afternoon of my first monarch of the year flying through my backyard. It was too far away to id the sex, but it looked brightly colored. It didn't linger, just kept flying through. If it was a female, there really isn't any milkweed up yet for her - the common milkweed is just barely poking through the soil. With this heat it should be up soon, though. Sunny and 85 degrees, with winds out of the SW at 10-20.
