EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/11/99
Comments Monarchs!! A person who visits Eastern Point in Gloucester, MA every day to count butterflies reported 0-1 monarchs every day last week except Sat. Sept 11 when he counted 200 monarchs in 20 minutes (they were nectaring) and on Sun. Sept. 12 he saw 30. I will try to drive there today to tag. He's not online and wants to report his observations (Doug Savich). Friday we had torrential rain (5 inches in a day, more than the entire summer) and the monarchs were raring to go I guess. (Fran Ludwig reporting for Doug Savich.)
