Dozens nectaring on plants in the Oklahoma State University Student Union garden.

Here's a picture of a tagged monarch taken at the same location. Dr. Kristen Baum and her students tagged and released this one on campus two days earlier (10/11) at a location about three blocks away.

It was caught along with nearly 1000 others that week (10/9-13) on campus!
It apparently flew back southeast from her lab to the same garden where it was captured. I was on campus (10/13 and 10/14) for homecoming activities and they were everywhere. The south winds probably held them. North winds came in Sunday and I'd guess they headed south.
