Spent four days on the farm in Chenango County, NY this past week and saw hundreds of Monarchs fluttering around and feeding on Aster and Goldenrod nectar to fuel their 2,500 mile migration to Mexico. Also very interesting that Monarchs follow many of the same migratory routes as the raptors. Individuals in the counting pits at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, which is located along the Appalachian Flyway in eastern PA, also record the number of Monarchs observed riding the thermals on their migration to Mexico.
Thanks again Marty.
