6pm. It's currently 79 degrees after a high of 83 degrees. The winds WSW at 7 MPH. I was hoping I was done seeing Monarchs for the year but they're still out there. I saw the first monarch earlier today in Wabasha MN. It had a damaged left wing was able to fly. In landed in some grass and I went out to see it and it took off into a yard. It wasn't flying very high. I think it was looking for nectar and I think that wing is going to be a problem. The next Monarch flew over the car as I was traveling through Lake City, MN, it was flying south along Lake Pepin. It was just in my yard and saw a colorful strong Monarch in the zinnias. He took of into the neighbors tree. The weather will continue to be nice with more seasonable temperatures next week.
