After several long days of waiting out the weather, the sun decided to shine and the temperature finally reached 60 degrees...hooray! Steve was on tagging duty today as I was at work. He released 35 today! Some had been waiting to go out since Thursday. Whew! I did a lot of worrying over these creatures. Steve reports that most of them took off right away, though, as you can see from this picture, there are a couple still hanging around. Tomorrow promises more sunshine and even warmer temperatures.
I had a little time to check out the Monarch migration reports on Journey North. I have really enjoyed reading the stories people relate as they record their observations. I think it is very cool that several state that they have seen an increase in Monarch numbers so far...woohoo! I can hardly wait for the winter observations. I am hoping to celebrate an increase in their numbers.
Off to take care of this last brood of growing larvae...
