EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting09/24/99
CommentsFirst weekend at the beach house we rented for the winter in Amagansett... we were delighted to find ourselves smack dab in the middle of a Monarch migration path! Our back deck was the preferred route. On Saturday morning for about an hour, the butterflies formed a fluttering stream (probably 20-50 per minute)which tapered off. By Sunday, we sighted perhaps 20 every 2 hours - when we were watching.
