Murray and others, Thanks for your updates on the migrant monarchs. Every
time I see one now I think of that marvelous trip they all are undertaking,
all the way down to those 10.000-foot mountains in Mexico! How I'd like to
visit them down there, and hopefully I will eventually do so.
Please keep us informed from time to time about how many monarchs you are
seeing during the entire autumn. My memory tells me that once I heard from
Peter Smith about loads of migrating monarchs on Bon Portage Island in
mid-November!, many years ago. I must try to find that small piece of paper
in my thick file folder on monarchs.
Thanks, too, for Ian McLaren's note about the monarchs being in bumper-crop
numbers this year in Quebec and Ontario. I remember in 1997 that our large
numbers of monarchs were mirrored out west in Saskatchewan, and also in
southern Ontario.
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

Yesterday I reported monarchs from Sandhills - today it was Powell's Beach
(the ponds, Port La Tour). There were monarchs everywhere - I would guess I
saw about twenty scattered around over the meadow behind the beach.
I have noticed all of the monarchs being reported - it makes a person wonder
what is going on - I never saw them in numbers like this before.
Roland.

Today I visited Sandhills Park - nothing much around for birds, but I did
see 11 monarch butterflies. They were not together - everywhere I went
there seemed to be one or two. They seemed to be visiting the goldenrod -
the only other flowers were the wild aster. There seemed to be lots of both
kinds of flowers around.
Roland.
