A Multitude of Migrating Monarchs


It's migration time and not just for the birds.  I came across several large groups of migrating monarchs today.  It was really impressive to see so many at once. 

I raised a bunch this year and tagged and released them.  Also went out and tagged a bunch of wild monarchs. 

Birding isn't super productive here yet, but there has been a trickle of warblers coming through.  Highlight for me was close views of a gorgeous Golden-winged Warbler, not common for Perth county.

  1. Monarchs are certainly doing well this summer compared to recent years. We have seen lots everywhere throughout the summer
