Winds have been SSW 15mph. 80 degrees for the last 3 days keeping all the butterflies clinging to the cow pen daisies, nectaring like crazy. Easy to tag as they were concentrating on holding on. At 2 pm today a strong cold front arrived - we watched the sky in front of the front as dozens of hawks and many, many monarchs were taking advantage of the winds. After the front, cold drizzle, 55 degrees. The monarchs that were left on the cow pen daisies were untagged and staying still at the bottom of the plants. I was able to tag them without using a net. Surreal!
