I am a member of Monarchs Migrating Through Ontario , lots of these members raise tag and release Monarchs and the co founder of this group has been doing this and tracking Monarchs on their migration from Ontario to Mexico for 25 years , He was just at Hawk cliff off of the north shores of lake Erie close to us as we and this place are both on the migration path for both butterfly's and birds and he was monitoring the monarchs and reporting on the numbers and how well they are moving through , this group also is linked up to Point Pelee national park and waysation where the Monarchs stop off at before they cross lake Erie , they also have a Facebook group and its linked to Mexico where they also report the tagging from Ontario . The numbers this year are good . Thanks for sharing .
