[Leps-l] Unpublicized Monarch Overwintering Sites

[Roger Kuhlman]

How is the overall migrating Monarch population doing this year? I think the Monarch season(breeding and migrating) in southeast Michigan (Washtenaw, Wayne, Lenawee, and Monroe counties) was the worst year I can remember since I began intensively surveying butterflies back in 1997.
 
What do other people in the East and Midwest think?
