EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting10/17/02
CommentsWe have started our yearly monarch tagging project. We tagged about forty monarchs this morning. There were several hundred in the trees , but most are roosting very high in the braches. The temperature was 15 Degrees(C). Yesterday, the monarchs were all too wet to attempt tagging. There have been several pipevine swallowtails roosting with the monarchs, as well a couple of red admirals.
