Cape may Monarchs

[Dori Sosensky]

>From the Cape May Rare Bird Alert:
Local Nature Notes: This seasons monarch flight was one of, if not the
best, ever. Between September 22 and October 20, Chris Wood, the Sea
Bird counter, tallied about 80,000 Monarchs moving south along the
coast, and that’s just on the barrier island side. About 4,300 Monarchs
were tagged. A recent recovery was of a Monarch tagged in Cape May and
recovered the next day at Cape Charles, VA nearly 130 miles south.
