An observation of a tagged male Monarch from 8-20-15. He returned to the yard on 8-22 with the top right wing torn and struggled to fly. I was able to catch him and tape his wing, and he was able to fly really well! On 8-27 he returned with that same wing 1/2 torn off, but he flew very strong and very well regardless. He returned daily and landed on the zinnias and chased away Monarchs I was releasing along with hummingbirds and goldfinches and other butteries! I last saw him 9-5-2015.Glad he was tagged so I knew it was one of mine!
