EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/20/03
CommentsThis afternoon I found numbers of monarchs almost entirely on New England Aster. This is a change from days ago, when all of the monarchs seen were nectaring on goldenrod, exclusively. Tagged about 150 in two hours - best numbers we've seen since the migration began. Our field closest to Lake Erie had hundreds and hundreds of monarchs. The field 3 or 4 miles inland had many fewer. Overall, we are seeing higher numbers here in far western New York State than we have seen in many years of tagging.
