Monarchs Migrating and Abundant - East Toronto

Went out for 1.5 hours to collect 70 monarchs for a tagging demonstration. This will use up my 1000 tags.

Site is filled with a mass of blooming goldenrod, some of which is in decline, as well as New England asters and small white asters.

Fewer monarchs captured today that had plump, bulbous abdomens than on Tuesday. More monarchs were feeding on asters than on Tuesday. Could have captured many more monarchs had I wished. Would not have captured 70 monarchs in 1.5 hours without a great net.

Also saw at least 15 painted ladies - many were large new specimens.
