EventMonarch Migration Sighting
Date of Sighting10/02/99
CommentsThe Monarchs are on their way through south central Oklahoma. A steady stream since Saturday morning of about 100 per hour. It has been about 3 years since we had this many at one time! We have butterfly weed on 40 acres and about the same in milkweed. There must have been 10,000 in the field. If you stood still they would light on you! It was incredible! (Ardmore is 40 miles from the Texas border.)
