On a beautiful sunny day on a trip from Buckhorn into Lakefield, as I was driving I saw many monarchs which seemed to be heading in a South westerly direction. I also saw another 10 - 15 adults in Lakefield at the park nectaring on the wildflowers down at the shore. On my way back to Buckhorn I saw a few more (10?) nectaring and also travelling southwest. I stopped several times along the way looking at patches of milkweed and found 2 level 2 or 3 instar caterpillars. Later in the day I also saw 2 more nectaring on a small island in the middle of the same lake (not sure if they were reared by me, but entirely posdible as the lake is small and the island is nearby. What a grwat monarch day!!! Today at my home on Big Bald Lake near Buckhorn i saw two of my own captive reared (I think!) of the 33 I have raised and released so far this year on the lake.
