We saw the first monarchs going south today.
There were several groups going south against a 15 mph wind. We have never
seen them in August before??? We thought they were really early last year
at the second week of September. The milk weed is in FULL bloom, and it
also is early. Again, milkweed usuallly isn't in full bloom until the
middle of September. That is when we start watching. So, we will mark our
calendars and keep watch.
Ardmore, OK is in south central Oklahoma/40 miles from the Texas state line.
