Jim and Mike,
Here in Charleston, SC we also regularly see Monarchs in the winter as
long as temperatures are favorable. With this mild fall we have had
quite a few still around. I was out over Thanksgiving at a local spot
that is well known as a stop over for birds during migration and saw
about 25-30 monarchs. They were not actively flying around with the
other butterflies (16 total species at the end of November!), but were
in the fire breaks and power line cuts. If I disturbed them, they
would fly, but then settle down again fairly quickly in the
vegetation.
