One monarch sighted. The Monarch I saw was during a bike ride at a park with a prairie area. It was low to the ground and seemed faded, but I didn't have a chance to stop and look as I was in a time crunch. I am looking for more and will send a picture of the next one I see!

I have seen lots of Red Admirals and did capture one on camera just now and I attached it for you!

The weather has been unseasonably warm since February with lots of rain in March and some cooler weather. I do have some common milkweed planted in my yard, but I don't see any signs of it coming up yet.
