Index of Subjects Jim Yes, we usually see the first Monarchs in 'early' June and this is late for us. I put my sightings on Journey North.(http://www.learner.org/jnorth/).. looked up last year and my first sighting was 3 June 2008 last year. Even though we see them in June, our experience is that they do not start laying eggs until July. I see that Edwin Giffin saw a Monarch on 3 June in Shubenacadie and there was on in Annapolis Royal on the 13th of June so mine is not the first this year. Larry James W.
