Today we canoed two inland lakes on the Bruce Peninsula near Wiarton ON. We spotted 8 monarchs. 6 were on an island, nectaring on joe pye weed and swamp milkweed. I did not observe egg laying, but pairs were circling and floating from plants to shore and back. It was wonderful to see so many, but wishing numbers were higher like back in 2007, with sightings of 52 on a similar outing!
