Monarch Butterflies Skip Lucky Boy, Surge Toward Coast

By Monika Maeckle, Vice President New Media Business Wire

    Houdini hunting at Lucky Boy Ranch                                              

Monarchs totally passed us by last weekend, in what I viewed as the final tagging opportunity in a frustrating, unusual season.   Houdini, pictured above, had more luck with birds than I did with butterflies.

It appears the Monarch butterflies took a more western route and are now flooding the Gulf coastline.  Lucky for those living along the beach.

Didn’t spot a single one at the ranch this weekend.  Lots of pecans, though.  Let’s not talk about the encounter between the Expedition and two separate bucks on our full moon drive out on Friday night.   Our SUV will be in the shop for weeks.

Upon returning home Sunday, one lone Monarch glided around the backyard.

    Houdini is looking pretty good. Don’t worry. You’ll catch 1000 monarchs next year.
