EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/13/99
CommentsHello from Mrs. Leishman's 1st graders. Yesterday 76 Monarchs were spotted by some of the first graders.Most of the butterflies were flying together.Some were seen in the fields flying low in flocks. Others were near flower gardens. A large flock were roosting in trees near sundown. The temperatures in the morning have been in the high 40's. But the afternoons have been sunny and nice. We hope to find more Monarchs flying through our playground today .
