...outside before night falls in. The angle of the sun has really changed and the Monarchs are emerging later in the day now, even though I am trying to leave my dining room light on. I felt the need to get these guys outside as Monday brings a 12-hour shift for me and no one will be home to release them tomorrow.
I had a wonderful weekend! Yesterday, I had the chance to educate, tag, and release Monarchs at the Marshy Point Fall Festival. It was so much fun! The wedding was last evening. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a fail. 2 quickly flew away, while the others decided to hang out in the hat box. It was chilly and overcast...I guess you cannot fight Mother Nature 😬. Oh how I had hoped they have been more spectacular! Today, the sun came out for awhile and we were able to tag and release up at beautiful Mingodale Farm. I had the chance to chat about Monarchs with some mighty fine people. Natalie and Sara (mentioned in earlier blogs) have been so incredibly supportive of my efforts - they ROCK!
I am getting ever closer to the 1,000 Monarch Mark. As of today, 939 healthy Monarchs have been released since August 12th. Sheesh...
