@annepann Thanks for the link to the very interesting article - if he's right, there may be hope yet. We had a pretty wet spring & early summer - so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for the ray of hope.
@milaniet You are welcome! I also read that many Monarchs died while wintering in Mexico in a bad storm in March, which is why there are fewer of them this year, also.
Beautiful raindrop capture.
