One of our tagged Monarchs from Washington State was re-sighted on Saturday September 27 at Glen Ellen..which is just north of Sonoma (and San Francisco).

This male was reared (from a Washington-caught female) and tagged at Yakima in central Washington on September 4. So it took just over 3 weeks to fly the approx 640 miles to Glen ellen. The recoverer took a great photo of the tagged butterfly feeding on flowers, so theres no doubt about the accuracy of this report

Clearly this individual is on its way to an overwintering site..perhaps someone will see him again!
