Monarch Migration

I am getting a lot of questions from people as to "when do the monarchs migrate"... The answer is "soon"....

Monarchwatch.org has some good info on peak migration. The URL is http://monarchwatch.org/tagmig/peak.html

We are at lattitude ~42

Hope this helps.

Ithaca Journal Article

Very nice article in the Ithaca Journal today! We felt that it was very accurate and well written. (Note to self: Never tell a news reporter that the South Hill School kids call you the "butterfly guy...")

Cayuga Nature Center

The butterfly house at Cayuga Nature Center is in fully swing! There is an exhibit in the center with eggs and larvae... and over 50 butterflies in the butterfly house. Great time to check out the exhibit as well as all the CNC has to offer!

First Butterfly Release

On Monday, August 11, we released over 300 monarchs from the butterfly house! What a truly awesome sight!
