EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/16/04
CommentsFIRST MONARCH TODAY!!!!

Comment from Journey North: Monarchs are not seen in southern states until late August or early September. These fall “first sightings” are either coming down from the north or are local butterflies, finally numerous enough to be noticed. They breed, producing an additional generation, and these young presumably join the migration to Mexico.
