Literally hundreds of monarchs on one tree, in the shade….

Many butterflies in our garden throughout summer and yesterday saw two laying eggs…

Quite a lot of monarchs in a tree seen in June….(reported by a 6 1/2 year old little girl)

Several groups sighted flying around most days throughout the winter

One monarch seen

seen just flying over a busy intersection whist we were waiting for the traffic lights to change

In the one old Fir Tree there are over a hundred monarchs. Most just sitting, dormant in the green but a few flying around. It was aweome to see so many in one spot.
