First Monarch of the season

The Monarch migration has started, and we saw our first yesterday, sipping on the zinnias. I'm sure we have them out in the pasture with the wildflowers but, with the wind and overcast weather, we didn't venture out to check on butterflies.
In most of the USA people notice the seasons by weather, fall foliage, spring blossoms. Here we notice the seasons by what birds and bugs show up!
