Thanks Irene. I checked them out yesterday (Thurs), 2 young only present, no sign of parents but I wasn't there very long so they could have returned after I left. Still hardly any monarchs but the New England Asters are finally starting to bloom so I expect more to show up soon, especially along the lakeshore.
