There have been thousands of these lovely butterflies for many days now. They do a great migration south as pointed out from a local news channel.

What a joy to be on their migration route.

Right you are. Such tiny creatures going so far. Like salmon swimming upstream, it boggles the mind. Good morning, Jet.

You are on the western migration route for the Monarchs. In New York, we were on their eastern route. Always a wonderful experience having them pass through.

This is the first year I have witnessed this. Perhaps there are many more this year or they have shifted to the north for whatever reason. In any event, it really is remarkable.
Have a good day, Marilyn.

How beautiful. I think they are having a banner year in many locations.

Yes they are, but I don’t recall why. Amazing that those fragile things can pull off that migration.

We have plenty of Painted Lady butterflies flying through. Last week, not so many seen with the days of gray. But, over the weekend, there were many; even today in windy conditions.

I wonder where do those sweet light butterflies get that strength.

omgosh! How special and amazing. I didn’t see a single butterfly this summer and thought that was really sad.

There were a million or more here, I kid you not. You live in the wrong direction, these guys are heading for warmer climates.
