Beautiful large flutter of 1000+ came over our island last weekend. After 6 weeks of warm, dry weather cold rain is on us now. We are averaging 50-100 Monarchs a day over last week. They are very thirsty and some were mating. My friend Maryanne took this photo. Will keep you posted as to what happens this weekend temps a bit cooler. Ellen, Butterfly Lady of Fire Island.

Shoutout to Woodhull School students of Ocean Beach who came to visit and tagged Monarchs!
