Sept 18, 2017 Rosetta McClain Gardens Monarch report!

Well we just plain ran out of tags! Today we tagged one last perfect "5" female monarch XML639, number 1476 this year1 See attached.

An amazing accomplishment from a dedicated team. Thanks all!

While the monarchs are still coming, we have tagged during the peak of migration at Rosetta, for sure! I would have never imagined we would tag 1500, so fast! Hopefully this is a very encouraging sign for monarch recovery in 2017!

To date 1476 monarchs tagged. 27.5% female - 72.5% male. A small but significant increase in females! Well done mother nature!


Special thanks to Carol Goodman at Dunkadoo and the "dunkadoo" team for putting the Monarch tagging app together in such a short timeframe. The app performed perfectly and has save us many many hours of input! All 1476 monarchs are in the database already!

Lets hope the little lady XML639 has a good and safe journey to Cerro Pelon, Mexico! We'll see you there in Feb 2018!

Congratulations all and thanks for all the help.

Good tagging
