The Monarchs are Coming
Several of us here in Lubbock have noted the presence of numerous Monarchs migrating through our area. By "numerous," I mean "ridiculous amounts." I've lived here 3 years and the best year was 2015, with 20-25 gathered in trees as I was walking along the nature area at Dunbar Lake (Lake 6). This is substantially more than that. They were everywhere from about 5:00 - 7:00.
May they find their way into your neighborhood so that you may enjoy them, too.
Note: I spent late morning and most of the afternoon in Hale County, and saw nary a one.
