EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/12/99
CommentsSunday, September 12 was definitely Monarch Day in Iowa City, Iowa! Our class saw well over 300 monarchs. One student, Jesse, saw a huge swarm of over 200 monarchs at one time. Another student, saw a few only about 10. Our teacher saw about 60 within a 10 minute period. The weather has begun to turn cooler. and it is dropping into the 50s at night. This is a little cooler than it should be for this time of the year. Mrs. Kurtz's class
