Time for monarch watch

Have you seen an October 2016 monarch butterfly yet? This is the peak week for migration along our 30th latitude. If you’re not seeing some, try looking up. On MonarchWatch.org, an observer in Dripping Springs reported on the 14th, ”The leading edge of a cool front just arrived and riding on the wind with it, dozens and dozens of Monarchs. They are at altitudes of 50 to 200 feet above ground level. Some are pointing to the North but just drifting lazily with the southward wind. None are flapping their wings.”

I saw one drifting lazily across my backyard a few days ago.

“Experience” millions of Monarchs through the 3D movie “Flight of the Butterflies”. It’s showing at the Bullock Museum this month.
