Index of Subjects Here at White point, I have only seen one Monarch on/over the property. My Common Milkweed was not even looking out of the ground and the Swamp was very short. At Western Head, I had three one day around noon to 1 pm, that came in off the water and went right to trees. One of those was tagged, (I couldn't see what it said, and no photos) it stopped on the truck for a second and then went to the trees. (Yes I know it isn't possible but it was) There was open dandylion, some clover and a few Iris so not much to feed on. My sister joined me, stayed a bit longer and saw another do the very same thing. Friends down the shore outside East Berlin have both reported Monarchs Friday and again yesterday in their yards. One yesterday said they settled on her Milkweed but so far no sign of eggs. My stand I checked yesterday, no sign of eggs. I went to East Berlin Sat. to see what I could see. I went on down to Medway Head and Long Cove where I will be painting some this summer and saw a number of Tiger swallow Tails and Cabbages, a Red Admiral and maybe a Checkerspot of some sort but no Monarchs for me. ....................................................................................... We have had a female Monarch in our field milkweed for a month now, and have found only two eggs. Today, we suddenly have five Monarchs in the field and they are flying around each other in there mating pattern. The Common milkweed is beginning to flower and attract abundant insects to their flowers. I suspect more Monarchs will be observed in the Province shortly. Let us know.
