It rained Friday and Saturday, the winds of the Canadian north brought
swarms of monarch butterflies over Lake Erie, and some of them rested on
a cropping of trees on Whiskey Island, on the west side of the
Cuyahoga. Saturday evening there were thousands, Sunday afternoon still
hundreds. They seemed to fancy sumac. They are migrating from Canada to
Mexico. In the last few years, the eastern population has dropped 90%.
