There's been an update on one Monarch that broke camp early from Mexico's El Rosario overwintering site, and it has been logged about 30 miles north of the sanctuaries. The tag number is ROS012, and has not been reported since yesterday. A couple others have also broken camp, going northbound: CHI005 and CHI007, both from the Sierra Chincua sanctuary, heading northeast. You do need to use their specific app for you to be on the lookout for these broadcasting bugs, and it's free via App Store or where ever you get your apps.

But WAIT! There's MORE!
Dr. Kristen Baum, Director of Monarch Watch at the U of KS also reports the logging of Monarch butterflies tagged in the U.S. & Canada on their way to Mexico, and one of those was tagged at Stillwater OK, I presume via OSU by the Xerces Society, sporting a simple tag number XSTI.

She has also noted tag number PP0017 (tagged at Point Pelee, Ontario) and JMU011, tagged at Harrisonburg, VA. Me, I'd be interested in the ones tagged in NJ at Cape May ever made it southward at all, because the last word on those is that they kept coming back. Maybe weather kicked their butts into migration mode--who knows.
