I saw the first female monarch of the year in my backyard this afternoon, battling the wind to lay eggs on my swamp and common milkweed plants. I only took the time to find one egg, laid on the flower buds of one of the swamp milkweeds, but she visited dozens of plants so I'm sure there are more. This is the third monarch I've seen this year - the first two were males that I saw in my yard about a month ago.
