The Monarch butterfly migration wave is definitely passing through east central Illinois today. They appear at the rate of about 1 a minute as individuals, coming from the north/northeast on the breeze, trending south/southwest.

Some are already flying high enough they sail over our building. Others scoot around. Most get caught in our corner and use the wind to circle upward a couple times then fly over and onward.

Here's a collage of different pictures of 7 butterflies, looking out from our 3rd floor apartment.
