We have been seeing fairly good numbers of monarchs all around Cape May recently. In late August we see a mix of the year's first Mexico-bound migrants along with butterflies who are parenting that generation. Anecdotal reports from the midwest to New England suggest that this could be a very good year for monarch migration. Does this mean the numbers will be big in Cape May? All we can say is maybe. What we can say for sure is that our team will be out there every day, counting and observing, and we will report back to our followers about how the season is progressing.
The Monarch Monitoring Project is a long-term study on monarch migration through Cape May, NJ. It is a part of the New Jersey Audubon Research Department, and closely affiliated with the Cape May Bird Observatory.
