This morning my wife and I headed out in search of Monarchs and Milkweeds for the 2023 Blitz.  Our plan was to visit various locations in the Bellefonte and State College area where we know there are Milkweeds and where in the past we have occasionally spotted Monarch Butterflies.  (In contrast, in recent weeks, we have seen very few Monarch Butterflies and no Eggs, Caterpillars, or Frass as evidence of their presence.)

Our fifth stop was at the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center in State College, PA.  It has areas of Common Milkweed along its trails.

At about 1:15 PM (EDT) the air temperature was 79°F, the air pressure was 28.64 inches and slowly dropping, the dew point was 64°F, the humidity was 61%, with a light 7 mph breeze blowing from the SSW under partly cloudy skies.
