Monarch butterflies in Salem

[Stephanie Hazen]

Two days ago we had a female monarch butterfly laying eggs on showy milkweed in our back yard.

Thanks so much , Stephanie! Over the past number of years, western Monarch populations had collapsed and numbers were ffrighteningly low. I thought perhaps we would no longer see Monarchs in OR. Luckily, this past year, numbers took an uptick In CA and I'm so pleased that you found one in OR!!!!
Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,

Bill
