| Event | Monarch Migration Sighting |
| Date of Sighting | 08/25/04 |
| Comments | "There are a lot of monarchs here now. I saw perhaps 20
individuals around noon. Some very fresh. Some tattered and faded.
Females laying eggs."
Observation by Craig Tufts, Chief Naturalist, National Wildlife Federation (as contributed to Monarch Watch).
With this question in mind, naturualist Robert Pyle traveled extensively on both sides of the Continental Divide, watching for migratory monarchs. His conclusion: the eastern and western populations are not the distinct entities scientists have long assumed. Read his book, "Chasing Monarchs" and see his article in Orion magazine, Las Monarcas Butterflies on Thin Ice." Migration Highlight |
