Throughout the past week I've been able to see monarchs at least one per minute. Most that I've seen in many, many years. For the last couple of years, only one or two. I hope this is a good sign.

I saw one or two at a time but it seemed to be continuous throughout the day and all travelling in a south westerly direction. I'm very excited because I haven't seen ANY for many years. It seemed to help that I let the milkweed grow in my garden and had a few monarchs daily throughout the summer.

I am surprised at how late in the year they are migrating here. In Ontario, they start in late August. I've never seen them in October.
I think we are having an abnormally long summer. I noticed some robins were nesting two or three times!
