Tomorrow, Wednesday, 10am Mexico City time, the Mexican Govt will hold a press conference to release the Monarch population numbers for the 2013/2014 season.
We are braced for sobering news but are resolved to continue to do our part in Keeping the Magic Alive and with that, I am looking for volunteers to help with our Monarch campaign this year. I’ve set up a meeting for the evening of Feb 10th. If you would like to be a part of this team please email me (Nicole) and I will provide the details: nhamilton@loudounwildlife.org
This shot is of one of the last Monarchs that we raised & released last October. With all hopes, it is one of those that made it to Mexico and in about 4 weeks it will begin the migration home, sending its babies back to us.
