Rosetta McClain Tagging report for Tuesday Sept 4th. Tagging has slowed down over the last 4 days. Today we tagged 40 monarchs and worked for all of them. YTD total is 1216 monarchs tagged this year! Lets hope the flow continues! We are 2 weeks or more ahead of previous years.
Here are 2 interesting specimens: 1) In the attached photo of YAR826 this male was tagged Wed Aug 29th. M, condition 4, redness 3, wing 52mm, 30.2C, .56g, By all accounts this boy should be on his way to Mexico. We re-caught him today in the gardens and note his weight was .86g. A .30g or 53% increase in weight in 7 days. Just look at his abdomen!
2) YAS119 Male, 4,2,54mm,32.8C, .56g. tagged today about 10am. Re-caught about 2PM he weighted in at .75g. A 19g or a 34% increase in about 4 hours!
Good tagging Terry
