I still have Monarchs to my surprise. In the nearly 30 years of watching them migrate and rest at my house, I've never seen so many, nor have they stayed so long. I suspect they're still here due to storms west of me along the N.M and TX state line. We have a lot of wind here and warnings of flash flooding just west of me. I think they're waiting out the storms. Whatever the reason, I'm enjoying the lovely company!

At this time (Oct 22), the Monarchs are staying on the roost due to the weather. We have chilly wind, and a lot of rain. They’re snuggling for warmth and waiting out the storms.

Well, the story of my Monarchs is concluded. They were gone this morning (10/23) about 9 am when I checked the tree. I went back this evening to check again, and they haven’t returned. They have gone on their way south migrating. Well, they were lovely company while it lasted.
