| Comments | While driving west to escape hurricane Floyd, I counted 33 monarchs during a one hour period while I was stuck in traffic on Interstate 10 just west of Tallahassee, FL. One of my informational sources suggests that some monarchs may overwinter in Florida. Another suggests that monarchs from the eastern seaboard may migrate through the Florida panhandle before crossing the gulf on their way to the Yucatan Penninsula. I'm curious to know where the monarchs I saw were going, and where they came from. In contrast, I have not sighted any monarchs recently in my home town of Ft. Pierce on the Atlantic coast. |
