Point Pelee Monarch Migration Update

[donald...@gmail.com]

Monarch counts published daily on the park Facebook page. 

It will be most interesting to monitor these counts. A small migration this year? A late migration this year. Numbers remain very low at Point Pelee. 300 monarchs tagged one day recently at Rosetta McClain Gardens in Toronto by that dedicated team.:

"Monarch Migration Update Sept 10 - 16 Monarchs were observed at the Tip this evening. They were spread out throughout the Tip woods."

Please report your monarch-related sightings, including roosts, to one of the many databases which include Ontario Butterfly Atlas, Mission Monarch, Journey North, eButterfly, iNaturalist.
