I haven't seen any Monarchs yet, but found the first eggs this afternoon in Southridge Park in Urbana. After a brief warm-up in mid-April, our spring has been cool and wet, with mainly northerly/westerly winds. Today was sunny, about 68 degrees, with west winds. Found 3 eggs, one each on common milkweed plants close to each other. I could only search a small selection of the thousands of milkweed plants in the park.

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