EventMonarch PEAK Migration
Date of Sighting10/10/03
CommentsMrs. McCoy's first grade class at Willie Brown Elementary witnessed the Monarch Buttlerfy's miracle. None of the children or their teacher had ever seen so many monarchs in one place. As we walked out of the gym at 11:10 on Friday, we looked up to see a dark gray cloud. No, it wasn't a rain cloud; we were watching thousands of monarchs flying south. The class observed for thirty minutes as the mass of monarchs grew smaller and smaller. We found that if we were very quiet, some of the butterflies would float down close enough for us to be able to see through their wings. What a sight!
