Watch for Nectaring Monarchs 
One of the surest ways to see migrating monarchs is to plant flowers to attract them. Monarchs may drop from the sky for the food they need during fall migration to Mexico.  You'll know a migrating monarch if you see one that seems to be flying with a purpose, and traveling in one direction. This is called "directional flight."
