p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Monarch butterflies

Earlier this week during our unusual stretch of warm weather, I found an area on the northern shore of Lake Ontario with a large population of Monarchs. As soon as the temperature dropped they were gone and from what I understand on their way to Mexico.
Thanks for looking.

Lovely, colorful set Jason. Good light and willing subjects, thankfully. I've noticed more Monarchs in Western NY this fall than the past several too. I hope they're making a bit of a comeback but it sounds as if Mexico could now pose some challenge for them as well (habitat & earthquake-wise).

Nice heart-warming pics. Extra kudos for getting the bee and Monarch to pose together! Thanks for posting.

I took another look at your excellent photographs after reading an article about the drop in populations of Monarchs. The widespread use of herbicides (mainly Roundup) is decimating the patches of milkweed that are essential to Monarch survival. They have a low survival rate under even the best circumstances but with loss of habitat they may be on the path to extinction.
