Last Sunday, Sept 30th, hundreds of monarchs were seen migrating at the Isles of Shoals, 7 miles off the coast of NH. They took a break at the Celia Thaxter flower gardens there on their journey south.
I saw tons of monarchs all summer along Seacoast of NH until last month, it really quieted down while the hurricane was raging in the Carolinas — as if the monarchs knew to hold back and stay out of danger.
Most years in NH, the monarchs make a big dash south in mid October.
I hope to see plenty the next week on my red dahlias and butterfly bushes.
