Let's all cross out fingers and hope the Monarchs arrive during the coming week... 
Next week it's time to tag!

Saturday September 18
8 AM - 2 PM 
2nd Annual Hawk Festival 
Lighthouse Point Park, New Haven

This is not a CBA event, but the CBA will participate by leading butterfly, dragonfly and damselfly walks and having a Monarch tagging demonstration.  Check out the CBA butterfly garden!

Sunday September 19

CBA sponsored Monarch Tagging
Meigs Point Nature Center
Hammonasset State Park, Madison

This is the official CBA tagging day.  We tag Monarchs as part of the international Monarch Watch tagging program.  If you've never been to www.monarchwatch.org, check it out!  Bring a net and help capture, tag and release Monarch butterflies to aid in the gathering of data on migration habits and travel routes.  Kids are welcome, and there will be a few nets available for those who do not have one.
