Date of Sighting09/10/99
CommentsWe have been counting migrating monarchs and have seen:
9-3 57
9-8 131
9-9 191
9-10 171
These numbers are reported during each days science class and represent the number seen overnight and before school. Weekends are not included.
A former student of mine called me Friday night (9-4) to come over and see something. I'll let him tell you about it "It was so cool that I couldn't belive my eyes. At first there were a few at 6:00 then they came from all directions at 7:00pm to 7:30pm you couldn't see which ones were dead leaves or monarchs. There were at least 900 to 1,300." Dexter
