Dr. Chip Taylor of Monarch Watch, presented a day of instruction at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, including the tagging of Monarch Butterflies. Anyone sighting any Monarchs please post your sightings here and also on my Facebook page called Save the Monarchs, my local effort to encourage the planting of milkweed and butterfly gardens.

We'd love to collect monarch encounters from the NC here on Nature Up North where they will go into a master data base that we can share with Monarch Watch! Thanks for sharing this!
