We couldn't close out September 2016 without another visit to Caney Fork Overlook mile marker 428 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We brought a Monarch to release that eclosed the evening before at our home. We cheered when he took flight to join his fellow Monarchs.
The temperature was 52F during our visit from 1 to 2pm. The sun was shinning and there was hardly any breeze.It seemed all 200 Monarchs we have observed all week were nectering on the asters and joe pye weed.
We found 2 of our tagged Monarchs (WCG163 female tagged 9/26/16) and (WCG167 female tagged 9/28/16) still enjoying the WNC scenery. How long will they stay?
