| Comments | We traveled from Cedar Rapids, Ia to Vincennes, Indiana over the weekend. I have already reported fridays observation, but would like to include that on friday, after crossing into Ill the number of monarchs noted dropped to 2 and in southern Indiana all I spotted was 2. The weather should not have been a factor in these other states, it was gorgeous. Upon returning to Ia on Sunday, we counted 145 in the 30 miles between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. It was sunny and in the low 70's. There were 3 casualties noticed from the traffic. The monarchs travelled singly and seemed to be of highest concentration near water or trees. |
