Monarch, Captive-Reared

Date: 09/18/2020

Number: 2

Released (2) males at Tilghman St, Allentown, in the Compass Business Center behind the buildings, in the Meadow area. It was a windy & cool, but sunny day. The larger Monarch headed across the Meadow; and the smaller one only flew up in the pine tree nearby, and sat still to soak up the sun. (I checked on him occasionally.). A few hours later, around 4:30 pm., the smaller one flew between the office buildings and headed south, even in the strong wind. At that same exact time, I saw the larger one appear and go back behind the buildings to the Meadow area again....the wrong direction to head south. *It was going to become very cold for the next 3 days, (unlike the 70 to 80 degree days that we were having up until that point.)
I did not see the larger one again... but he may be the one I saw the following Friday? :)
