Just a quick post on the monarchs arrival on 7-15-15. I checked them in the morning and could barely detect the wing, and when I checked again around 3pm they were out! It is really amazing. We had some stormy wet weather that day but the sun was coming out so I set them outside in the sun to help dry their wings. After a couple of hours I opened the coop, and Bert didn't hesitate. He flew straight up and zoomed over the evergreens, gone in seconds. Ernie took a bit longer and hung around for awhile. Today a monarch was in the yard, laying eggs... here we go again! These will be the 4th generation monarch that heads back to Mexico.
