EventMonarch PEAK Migration
Date of Sighting09/13/01
CommentsToday one of my 6th grade students came into class very excited about what he had seen the day before near his house in Marengo, IL. He had witnessed about 50 monarchs flying overhead. We had been watching for approx. 2 weeks and no one had seen more than a few flying around at any one time. The temperature has made a dramatic change in the last few days. We are also seeing hundreds of birds congregating to begin their flight away from our area for the winter.
