Yesterday, I visited the Botanical Garden in San Antonio, Texas and saw many monarchs flying south above the gardens all afternoon. Then, as I walked along the River Walk in downtown San Antonio during the last two hours of daylight, I counted approx. 2 per minute coming out of the sky, following the river to roost in the large cypress trees right along the River Walk. This morning, I took another walk on the River Walk headed south of downtown and saw monarchs passing above at about the same rate. I also saw several collecting dew on the grass on the river bank and others feeding on the many native flowers in bloom.
