| Comments | On Sept 9, I was wandering through a park in Omaha, NE. The trees were dripping with monarchs that seemed to be resting. As I walked by I was surrounded by 1000's of them. I went back Sunday (09/10) and there were still probably a 1000 or more. On 9/11 the monarchs were still there, resting up before their long trip. Weather in Omaha had been in the 90's for the last week with no rain and high humidity. I last saw them around 2:30pm. A slight cold front move through about 4pm. It went from hot and humid to cool, mild and breezy. I checked on the monarchs around 6pm. They were gone, all of them! |
