EventMonarch PEAK Migration
Date of Sighting09/10/01
CommentsWe counted 73 monarchs flying over our playground between 11:10 and 11:25 AM. We were anxious to get back out there at 2:00! We have a nice wind from the north today. From 1:45-2:00, 114 monarchs were sighted. It looks like a peak. We had to stop, only because we had to come inside from recess. The students are having a great time with this.

On August 31 at 6:00 PM, I spotted about a 100 or so Monarchs in our backyard trees for the first time. They were settling in for the night. We are about 9 miles NW of Kalona, IA.
