Hello! I live near Tupelo Mississippi and I have observed numerous monarchs during the last two days. The monarchs are mostly moving northeast with a few moving in an easterly direction. Some near the ground and others at and above tree level. I have seen as many as 12 at one time. Late yesterday afternoon I walked in the woods until I found about 12 monarchs in a group of trees. I observed them for almost 90 minutes. It was the highlight of my day as I watched them in the late evening sunlight. There have been more pass over my location during the past few days than I observed during the fall migration 96. Please let me know what seeds I can plant to give these monarchs food as they migrate north and a place to lay their eggs.
