After 6 days of not seeing monarchs (it was basically cloudy and northerly winds), when the sun came out at 10 am today, monarchs started moving through my yard. Every few minutes, 2-3 monarchs came into my yard through about 2 pm. Many rested on the spruce or mulberries before heading west. Later in the afternoon at least 20 were resting in the trees and at least 4 of those had been there since 11:30 am. The few ironweed and butterfly weed that had attracted many of the butterflies in late August were barely used today as there were few blossoms left.
