Hi Jim and all:<br>
As I understand it current knowledge has it that &quot;our&quot; Monarchs
do not reach the Mexican mountains but actually fly a distance south
before laying eggs, etc. and their offspring continue the journey,
perhaps having to repeat the process before that line of Monarchs reach
their wintering grounds. Is this correct?<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Murray and others, Thanks for
your updates on the migrant monarchs.&nbsp; 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!&nbsp; How I'd like to visit
them down there, and hopefully I will eventually do so.<br><br>
Please keep us informed from time to time about how many monarchs you are
seeing during the entire autumn.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; I must try to find that
small piece of paper in my thick file folder on monarchs.<br><br>
Thanks, too, for Ian McLaren's note about the monarchs being in
bumper-crop numbers this year in Quebec and Ontario.&nbsp; I remember in
1997 that our large numbers of monarchs were mirrored out west in
Saskatchewan, and also in southern Ontario.<br><br>
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville<br><br>

<dd><font size=2>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.<br>

<dd>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.<br>

<dd><font size=2>Today I visited Sandhills Park - nothing much around for
birds, but I did see 11 monarch butterflies.&nbsp; They were not together
- everywhere I went there seemed to be one or two.&nbsp; 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.<br>
