Right on time!

Wow. Right on time the roosting is starting at Gibbs. We have yet to see the cloud of butterflies come yet but it’s early. We have about two different sites that they are in. One site is back by the circle of flowers and the other is opposite the circle. I am only counting about 15 now but am sure more will come. Stay tuned.

Rechecked the tree this morning and saw 5 monarchs in the same place! Here is a picture of 4 of them. Hooray! Migration season is here again!

Later on, we captured an image of the partial solar eclipse and Leslie got a great picture of more roosting monarchs here (click on it to see a full size version of the butterflies). If you happen to see the cloud of butterflies flying on in, please let us know!
