Now that the heavy rain and warmer weather has passed, and the cool front went through our area, the monarchs have been migrating at a good clip through Ames and central Iowa yesterday and today (Sept. 26 and 27). We’ve been having sunny weather with northerly winds, and the monarchs are taking advantage of the good conditions. These have been good days not just for observing flight directions, but also for tagging, because the butterflies drop in to our prairie plot to nectar before moving on. ~Royce B
