Recovering Monarch Tags
Thousands of people tag monarch butterflies each fall. Everyone hopes their monarch will make it to Mexico, and dreams that their tag will be found. Several hundred tags are recovered each season. How? This coming weekend, Diane Pruden will travel to the sanctuaries to recover found tags as a Monarch Watch representative. For each tag recovered Diane will provide a 50-peso reward. People, like the boys in this photo, watch carefully for the tiny white tags. They know Monarch Watch will be coming soon. Estela will travel with Diane next weekend as a helpful guide, translator and our local reporter. Watch for her story next week.
