If they're on schedule, they'll be crossing the Blue Ridge Parkway just
about a mile north of where the Mt. Pisgah Highway (NC 151) joins it.

I think their fall route goes over the same pass every year. That's what
the lady who was there tagging butterflys told me. She had a whole sheet
of little dots with serial numbers. She was catching them, putting the
dot on the wing & letting them go again. I don't think she was tagging
every one, just counting most of them & tagging a sample.

Beautifully detailed with strong colour. I've never caught a Monarch that well.
A dude in the Toronto social group on PentaxForums posted shots of
bushes covered in Monarchs down near the Lakeshore Yacht Club from two
weeks ago. Migration is over now I guess. Missed it by that much. :-)

Got down to the Lake yesterday for the first time in a long time. I'd
been wanting to get down there as the weekend before last we saw more
than a few monarchs in our neighbourhood, signalling the possibility
that the migration was happening.
I think I missed it. But there were a few stragglers, and I got a few
monarch shots. Lots more bee and wasp shots.
Here is a monarch that I found near the marina:
