First monarch sighting at my Waystation this morning, May 15, female, ovipositing on poke milkweed. Thank goodness for that stuff, cuz other milkweeds are barely breaking ground. Poke is nearly a foot tall, tho.

I am at 43 degrees north latitude.

As a note of interest, a naturalist at the Schlitz Audubon Center on the northeast side of Milwaukee spotted one there yesterday, May 14, and photographed it “nectaring” on a hummingbird feeder, for lack of any open flowers other than spring ephemerals.
