EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting10/12/02
CommentsTens of thousands of monarchs were sighted in and around the Ballinger, Texas area Saturday, October 12th. Big, healthy butterflies were active along creek beds of the Colorado River, with vast numbers roosting in the cedar trees of Evergreen Cemetary. As winds shifted mid-afternoon out of the north, for our first "real" coldfront, they were all gone, on a wing and a prayer.
