Every time that I have gone out this season (since mid-June anyway), I
have encountered Monarchs and have seen several mating exercises. I have
also seen them in our backyard, feeding on the milkweeds there...

During the past week on the dplex-l there have been multiple posts about
record or near record 4th of July counts of monarchs from southern
Ontario, plus favorable reports from neighboring Canadian provinces and
the upper Midwest USA:

Here's an example from Algonquin Provincial Park which is a huge
wilderness park in the northern section of southern
Ontario:

1995 - 8
1996 - 5
1997 - 156 (our previous high)
1998 - 1
1999 - 66
2000 - 42
2001 - 142
2002 - 11
2003 - 52
2004 - count cancelled due to weather
2005 - 25
2006 - 189
