I think this is a rebroadcast of a show aired in March/06, and as I recall
it was excellent and full of interesting information and conservation info'.
-------------
I got this from the cbc.ca/ideas website:

Wednesday, April 18
FLIGHT OF FANCY
The monarch butterfly is the marathon runner of the insect world. But its
spectacular, annual migration may be threatened. Chris Brookes asks, should
we care?
-------------
Monarchs leave their high overwintering site in the mountains of Mexico in
February or early March to begin their northward flight and reproduction,
and it takes 3 or 4 generations before we see them here in southern Canada.
I wonder how far they have gotten, and how many of last summer's bumper crop
(from Bogans' monarch factory and elsewhere) made it down there and then
successfully overwintered?

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
