Monarch Monitoring Project 9/7/07
posted by Bradley Smith | 12:00 AM
This was the first week of the
2007 Monarch Monitoring Project.
Monarch migration has officially begun!
The cold front on September 1st brought good numbers of Monarchs with it. We continue to see them in between fronts nectaring in the gardens of Cape May. There are still quite a few individuals around that do not appear to be part of the migratory generation, but rather the summer generations whose males still aggressively patrol their own little patch of flowers and whose females still seek out milkweed to lay eggs. These adults will not make the long trip to Mexico, but rather will produce more who will. Now is a prime time to find monarch caterpillars (like the one in the photo).
Census Totals: Monarchs per hour
9-1: 49.09
9-2: 51.11
9-3: 27.06
9-4: 46.15
9-5: 62.14
9-6: 45.26
9-7: 18.55
Monarchs per hour for Week 1:_42.95
There are now Monarch interpretive displays at both CMBO Northwood Center and the Nature Center of Cape May, complete with live caterpillars!
It's shaping up to be a great year!
