EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/17/99
CommentsHere in the south central Missouri Ozarks,two of my students and I spotted what we believe to be our first migrating Monarchs this morning. We saw about a half dozen monarchs moving in a southerly direction and up quite high, above the treetops. Occasionally, one would meander down lower, even landing on the ground (for dew?, not much blooming after our recent drought) but they were very skittish and we could not net them. Upon disturbance, they went back up high, even out of sight ('course these *are* 49 year old eyes, so maybe not that high :-) )
