We caught and tagged 130 monarchs from a small field in the middle of White Lake Wildlife Management Area (state area). We estimated we saw 6 or more for every one we tagged, so that estimate would be about 800 for that area. However we also tagged monarchs on 7 October and had very few recaptures - using the Lincoln Index to estimate number of individuals by capture/recapture, that estimated number was about 2,000, thus the number reported. Still very conservative estimate. We know across the 1,200 acre area there was at least a few thousand Monarchs 6 - 7 October.
