Hundreds of large, healthy Monarchs on their way south were tanking up in yards where the grass had been watered the night before. We discovered bushes and trees covered with butterflies after school around 4:00 p.m. They stayed the night and then left the next day as the cold front and rain made its way into our drought stricken area. Abilene, 57 miles north of Bronte, reported sightings the same day. They were beautiful!!!
