Awesome fall Monarch migration

I had to take a million pictures of the spectacular Monarchs on Wednesday. A field of New England asters in Cambridge MA was just covered with the butterflies. There must have been a hundred! This is the middle of the fall Monarch migration. Check out the website http://www.learner.org/jnorth/monarch/index.html. "A spectacular migration is moving down the Atlantic Coast right now, from Maine to Virginia. On Monday, over 13,000 rested on the Massachusetts Coast. On Wednesday, a clear wave traveled over New York City and delighted those who saw butterflies fill the sky." From the Monarch counts at Cape May Point in NJ, it sounds like this year might be a record migration (see http://home.earthlink.net/%7Erkwalton/mmp02.html).
