EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/18/99
CommentsThe migration is on! The dates for this major migration are September 17 and 18, 1999. I just returned from working at Prairie State Park yesterday (9/17/99), and had the opportunity to watch for Monarchs as I drove the 200 miles home to Columbia, MO. I saw many, many Monarchs flying south yesterday and they are flying this morning also. I saw about 25 in 15 minutes moving southwest here in Columbia this morning (9/18/99). Columbia is in Boone County, Missouri. If it is useful, we are having an east wind this morning. It was mainly out of the north yesterday.
