EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting10/12/03
CommentsJust wanted to report that the Monarch Migration has reached Val Verde County as of Sunday the 12 of October. My ranch ( located at the intersection of S.H. 277 and S.H. 377, 27 miles north of Del Rio) was covered in Monarchs Sunday. With the storm system having just blown through they seamed to have arived on it's coat tails. I saw a steady stream of them flying south through the early part of the day, with the larger trees being covered with them by late afternoon. Not sure how many I actually saw but I would conservatively guess them to number in the thousands.
