From Dana:
Sublette has been FLOODED with monarch butterflies this week as they make their trek south! FLOODED!
Does this happen in Kansas City? I have a vague memory of my 8th grade science teacher having a monarch butterfly garden at our school and tagging them somehow or something, but I never remember seeing them come through. Though, I DO spend a whole lot more time outside these days than I ever did when I lived in Olathe, I think, so it makes sense I'd notice them here.
Yesterday Cole and I took the trash out to the dumpster and the monarchs were swarming all over. It was a beautiful sight.
I know you can't tell in the this picture, but our locust tree was chalked full of butterflies. I got the impression they were holding on for dear life in our Southwest Kansas wind!
We aren't seeing the big flight of butterflies this year. I have a friend that tags them. I should send her your way. You are probably in the migration path. Here is an article I found about Kansas. http://www.kansas.com/news/article1133321.html
