One of the principal activities of Monarch Watch participants is the study of the fall migration (late Aug- Nov). Some observers keep journal records of sightings, others raise and release monarchs while many others tag, record and release migrating monarchs.
To receive tags you must become a member of the Monarch Watch. The annual membership fee is $10. Members will receive 1) a tagging kit containing 20 tags, 5 practice tags, adhesive, and instructions, 2) the season summary, and 3) a short pre-migration newsletter. If you expect to tag more than 20 monarchs, additional tags will be provided for $5 per 100 tags. Tagging kits will be mailed in late August. If you wish to join the 1995 Monarch Watch,please send in your membership fee as soon as posssible ( before 15 July) so that we have time to prepare the tags and kits.
