EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting10/03/99
CommentsThis weekend I caught and tagged (through Monarch Watch) 23 monarchs! There were times that there were 4-7 butterflies on my buddleia bushes. If I had not been doing the usual weekend routine (soccer games, house cleaning etc.) I probably could have caught more. I have never seen so many monarchs in this area of the state. Monarchs have been coming through since early September, but this must be one of the peak times.
