Tagged 138 monarchs by myself in about 90 minutes (quit when out of tags) in red clover hay field that has been left to bloom by a local beekeeper. Still seeing about 2 untagged for every one tagged that has stuck around. Tagged over 100 on 9-21 with 12 2nd graders and 14 today - all with very "fat" abdomens. Could have tagged 100+ today (9-28)but out of tags. Did not see a single tagged butterfly while in field today. Wind has been from south much of the last week (I was out of state Th-Sun); cold front moving through now, so hope monarchs hitch a ride on the wind south.
