I still have the members of the 3rd swarm of Monarchs in my yard this morning.(10/19/2015) We have a cool breeze blowing, so the butterflies are not too active, unless disturbed. I did disturb them somewhat getting a couple of photos. They are so artfully hidden in a Live Oak tree, they are hard to spot when roosted.
My home is located only 100 miles as the Monarch flies from the Mexico border. They're still resting for the last leg of their journey to winter grounds. I know they won't be here much longer and I'll miss them!
