Larry and Alison, Your original note (below) asked about monarchs from =
here possibly overwintering in Florida.  Is it known how many monarchs =
stay in Florida for the winter then presumably fly north in spring like =
the Mexico monarchs and then begin breeding on their way back to New =
England and to us?  I thought that most of the Florida monarchs try to =
cross the Gulf of Mexico to get to Mexico for the winter?

Cheers from Jim, and more congratulations to you two for long-lasting =
efforts, from Wolfville.
