Brooklyn Botantic Garden, Brooklyn, NY
Monarchs throughout the garden. Sunny, bright day - 70's.
Six along Waterlily Pools
Four in Pine Barren Area
Three in Osborne Garden
Friend reported six along edge of Rose Garden and also saw several in new Water Garden;
I noticed that the ones I saw were females. I only saw one male.
Question: Do the males leave and migrate first and then the females follow? Do they migrate in a similar pattern as the hummingbirds--males leave first and females and juveniles follow?
