<a href="../200609/3562.html">previous message in archive</a <html> <body> Hi Jim and all:<br> As I understand it current knowledge has it that "our" Monarchs do not reach the Mexican mountains but actually fly a distance south before laying eggs, etc. and their offspring continue the journey, perhaps having to repeat the process before that line of Monarchs reach their wintering grounds. Is this correct?<br> Angus<br><br> At 11:12 AM 9/27/2006, Jim wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Murray and others, Thanks for your updates on the migrant monarchs. Every time I see one now I think of that marvelous trip they all are undertaking, all the way down to those 10.000-foot mountains in Mexico! How I'd like to visit them down there, and hopefully I will eventually do so.<br><br> Please keep us informed from time to time about how many monarchs you are seeing during the entire autumn. My memory tells me that once I heard from Peter Smith about loads of migrating monarchs on Bon Portage Island in mid-November!, many years ago. I must try to find that small piece of paper in my thick file folder on monarchs.<br><br> Thanks, too, for Ian McLaren's note about the monarchs being in bumper-crop numbers this year in Quebec and Ontario. I remember in 1997 that our large numbers of monarchs were mirrored out west in Saskatchewan, and also in southern Ontario.<br><br> Cheers from Jim in Wolfville<br><br> <b>From: </b>dowitcher <dowitcher@eastlink.ca><br> <b>Reply-To: </b>naturens@chebucto.ns.ca<br> <b>Date: </b>Tue, 26 Sep 2006 17:39:36 -0300<br> <b>To: </b>naturens@chebucto.ns.ca<br> <b>Subject: </b>Re: [NatureNS] Barrington<br><br> <font size=2>hi roland we have had them in lot larger numbers than this back in the 90's, its just great to see them on the comeback.<br> lots around the island today also.<br> cheers murray<br> <br> </font> <dl> <dd>----- Original Message ----- <br> <dd>From:</b> roland.mccormick@ns.sympatico.ca <br> <dd>To:</b> naturens@chebucto.ns.ca <br> <dd>Sent:</b> Tuesday, September 26, 2006 5:17 PM<br> <dd>Subject:</b> Re: [NatureNS] Barrington<br><br> <dd><font size=2>Yesterday I reported monarchs from Sandhills - today it was Powell's Beach (the ponds, Port La Tour).

They were not together - everywhere I went there seemed to be one or two. They seemed to be visiting the goldenrod - the only other flowers were the wild aster. There seemed to be lots of both kinds of flowers around.<br> </font><br> <dd><font size=2>Roland.<br> <br> </font><br><br> <dd>No virus found in this incoming message.<br> <dd>Checked by AVG Free Edition.<br> <dd>Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.12.8/455 - Release Date: 9/22/2006<br><br> </dl> </dl><br> </blockquote></body> </html>
