Lepfarmer, I am so mesmerized by the nine Monarchs I have sheltered and released I can't imagine how it must be to be amidst some many travelers!

Pics of nine released, 2 males, 7 female all on their way. Last three nectared a lot before taking off, flicking off various other nectar seekers as can be seen in at least one photo. First pic is of Mama Monarch who laid the eggs of her beautiful offspring.
