Hey Carol Reese and David Coe,
You guys are mailing butterfly posts to TN-Birds instead of the list
TN-Butterflies. I mail you on this list so everyone will get the message that
those were stray posts going to the wrong list rather than using TN-Birds as a
regular list for the butterflies.

I run the butterfly count in Sewanee, TN. We almost never have Monarchs on
our count (too early up here on the plateau), and didn't again this year.
Overall, our numbers on all large species were down, probably due to drought
and high temps at the time of the count. I have seen a few Monarchs around in
the latter half of the summer; not a lot, but some.

Not sure if the butterfly count has been done already this year, but have
been contacted to find out if there are fewer monarchs this year. It made me
realize that I cannot recall seeing any, and we usually have quite a few in our
display gardens. Anyone have any real numbers?
