KelsonVFrom this afternoon's walk along the greenbelt: About as many monarch butterflies in one photo than I've seen in the last few years!
There were a whole bunch of them clustered on a pine branch above the path. I wouldn't have even seen them, but other people out walking had stopped to check them out.
I was just reading that this year's overwintering monarch count is up to over 200,000 - a huge improvement over last year's count of, I kid you not, 1,914. Though still not up to the millions that were regularly seen as recently as the 1990s.
