I have seen Monarchs emerge as late as the Thanksgiving weekend (2nd Monday in October) in Bear River and by mid day when it started to get warm enough for them to rev up and get their big broad wings moving, fly off to the southwest. Probably many leave Western Light on Brier Island just as the birds do and head across the Bay for Maine. My parents saw one at Schoodic, part of Acadia National Park, one fall day come in off the water and literally collapse on the first flower it could find, where it stayed for some time resting and sipping nectar. They knew from whence it had come, as they had just returned from their usual summer holidays in Bear River to Maine for the winter and wondered if it had grown up in the milkweed patch on the HIll.
