471 donors pledged a total of $23,586.36 in this Fall 2009 campaign - thank you!

If you haven't yet, we encourage you to spend a little time reading through the comments below - the connections that are facilitated by monarchs and Monarch Watch are extraordinary. This fall fundraising campaign has ended but you can still pledge your support at any time via any of the methods listed below or on our Donations page. Thank you for your continued support!

Spring has sprung, summer is fading, and the spectacular fall monarch migration will soon be upon us...

Fall also marks another lesser-known yet still noteworthy annual event - the birthday of the father, so to speak, of Monarch Watch. Some introduce him as Dr. Orley R. Taylor, Professor Taylor, the Honeybee Guy, the Monarch Man, or the Director of Monarch Watch...but most of us know him as "Chip."

In response to our "Future of Monarch Watch" article posted earlier this year (monarchwatch.org/future), several long-time Monarch Watchers have suggested a fundraising campaign in honor of Chip and it seems fitting to run it around his birthday, which happens to be at the end of August.

Not only does Chip draw no salary from Monarch Watch, he has also been the single largest financial contributor to the program over its eighteen year history. It is no secret that Chip is passionate about monarchs and Monarch Watch - he is genuinely concerned about the future of the monarch migration and that of our program as well.

So, in honor of Chip we've officially launched the "Chip in for Monarch Watch" fundraising campaign - a chance for Monarch Watchers, colleagues, friends, and family across the planet to show their support for Chip and the Monarch Watch program he brought to life nearly two decades ago.

"In 1992 I had no idea how this small project would change my life nor did I envision Monarch Watch as it is today. It's fair to say that Monarch Watch continues to lead me into new areas of public education and lines of research I hadn't anticipated. Each year brings new adventures and connections that seem to arise simply because Monarch Watch exists." - Chip Taylor

Here's how it works...

1. Send an email to Jim at JLOVETT@KU.EDU and type "Chip in for Monarch Watch" in the subject line - in this email message please include the following:

- Your name (or that of an organization)
- Your pledge amount ($1, $10, $100 or more - any amount will be greatly appreciated)
- A personal note for Chip (could be a sentence, a paragraph, or a letter; photos are welcome too!)
- Your name as you would like it to appear online (full name, first name(s), initials, organization, or anonymous is fine)

If you would like to make the donation anonymously please note that but include your name so that we can match it with your gift.

2. Make your fully tax-deductible donation to Monarch Watch via any of the methods listed below. All donations will be processed by the KU Endowment Association - however you donate, please make sure the gift is directed to Monarch Watch.

- Securely Online: Give Now in Support of Monarch Watch

- By Phone: 800-444-4201 or 888-653-6111 toll-free

- By Mail: please make checks payable to Monarch Watch and mail to

Gift Processing Department
KU Endowment

800-444-4201 or 888-653-6111 toll-free

3. We will then assemble a donor list, the notes, and/or photos and present them to Chip. We'll also post updates, photos, video, etc. right here at monarchwatch.org/chip

Please spread the word to other monarch enthusiasts you know - it has also been suggested that donations could be collected from several individuals (friends, family, co-workers, club members, etc.) and then submitted as a single donation by any of the methods listed above.

Donations are accepted at anytime throughout the year, but if you would like to be included in this special "Chip in for Monarch Watch" campaign, please complete your contribution by September 30, 2009.

If you have any questions please feel free to drop us a line anytime - thank you for your continued support!

Oh, and Chip doesn't know about this little venture so let's try to keep it a secret! Now he knows. grin

When I was a little girl a long time ago - my mother and daddy encouraged us children to enjoy and learn about the world around us. That was in the 1940s. I still grow milkweed in the garden and am still thrilled to find Monarch larva and when they leave on new hardened wings, I wish them Vaya con Dios.

Chip, I visited Monarch Watch for the first time in June, 2009 as part of the KU Mini Class; I found myself telling people later more about you and your work than any other single class I took. I also went straight to my local nursery and purchased a swamp milkweed plant for my garden!  It is thriving and I hope the same can always be said for the Monarchs and for your program. Your selflessness and devotion are a consolation for me when I become overwhelmed by the selfish behavior of many of our species. So thank you for that too. Happy Birthday.

Erica Gruen Levy
Happy birthday, Chip! When she was about 5 yrs old, my daughter asked me one day, "How do you tell a girl butterfly from a boy butterfly?" This being 1998, and a little bit pre-World Wide Web, I had to email around to several libraries and universities, seeking info on this question, before finally being connected to you all at Monarch Watch. In response, you recruited us to tag (and sex) monarchs, which we were delighted to do. I wish I had - and may indeed have somewhere - photos of our young daughter catching monarchs - with her bare hands! - and gently tagging and releasing them. This experience has set her on the road to further love of nature and animals. At 16 now, she is passionate about the outdoors and nature, a strong member of her high school's Green Team, and hoping to become a vet. Thank you, Chip, and your entire team, for this wonderful educational project and for contributing so much to our daughter and to our family.

I met you in Mexico in late February 2009 when you spoke to our group at Don Bruno Hotel. We were traveling with Dr. Tom Emmel. It was a thrill for me to get to see you after becoming a Monarch enthusiast and tagging Monarchs for the past two years. My friend and I, both Master Gardeners,  give Monarch presentations all during the year to schools, nursing homes, Master Gardener conferences, and libraries. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing to promote the marvelous, migrating Monarchs.

Mr. & Mrs. A. Nonymous
4 years ago we saw a monarch chrysalis in a local nursery and was fascinated. In an effort to learn more we found Monarch Watch and there all the info on how to support this beautiful butterfly. We planted a butterfly garden the next year and the following summer were busy collecting and raising caterpillars then releasing monarchs (19 of them). This spring was the first time we got north-bound monarchs (we released 16). At that time the milkweeds had barely emerged and we worried about having enough for all the caterpillars. But whatever questions we have we always find answers on Monarch Watch. Now the migrating monarchs are arriving and there are 40 milkweeds plus other nectar plants ready to provide for them. It's been such a joy being Monarch Watchers and we thank Dr. Taylor for it.

I’ve been a butterfly admirer since childhood, and cannot imagine a world without monarchs. I know the energy, wisdom, and tenacity Chip has put into Monarch Watch will help to ensure that  these remarkable creatures are here for generations to come. It’s rare for one person to have anything like an enormous impact on any natural phenomena....but truly, I do think Chip has done that by keeping the public’s attention on the fragility of monarchs, continuing the research, creating an educational program, and engaging so many people from such a wide area in preservation of habitat. Happy birthday Chip. Please know how grateful we are that you have stuck with this program.

Thank you, Chip, for starting this interesting study. We enjoy our time watching, catching and tagging monarchs.

Ten years ago, Monarch Watch inspired me to raise butterflies. Since then, a new world has opened up for me that includes all pollinators and the importance of natives and biodiversity. Your work with Monarch Watch is critical. There are many others who still must be inspired! Thank you for what you do!

Judy Kesser
Congratulations, and thank you for all your hard work on behalf of those beautiful Monarch butterflies. My path to loving the monarchs began with native plantings, including milkweed, in my yard. That led to raising them, tagging them, sharing what I was learning about them with school children and adult groups. A peak experience was traveling to Mexico this year to see the monarchs in all their glory! Monarch Watch is a tremendous source of information and motivation. Keep up the great work.
37.
Elizabeth and Bill
Thank goodness for Chip Taylor and his drive to save the monarchs! Monarch Watch has brought many people into understanding the importance saving habitat for not only monarchs, but other butterflies as well. We have our monarch waystation sign proudly displayed in our yard. Every year we look forward to our next "Mr. T" who patrols our yard, chasing off other males, including fritillarilies, and courting every female. What fun we have with our butterfly and bee garden!

Wish it could be more… :-) I've been in love with the monarchs  for 20 years. Having taught elementary school for 39 years, we bought tags and tagged our little new critters and sent them on their way. I  have been to Anguangeo in Michoacan, Mexico and viewed millions of them. The sound of their wings was mesmerizing!

As a Master Gardener, one of our projects is a Butterfly Garden and the Monarch Watch people have been so helpful. Several of my fellow Master Gardeners and I have taught classes to our group and given talks to children and adults about the Monarch Butterfly and the great work that Monarch Watch is doing to learn more about the Monarchs and to preserve them. Keep up the great work!

I treasure my memory of our interview in 2006—and we finally did get an article in Birds and Blooms (Summer 2009, page 20). Especially potent was your observation that most people only see a sea of green when they look at a field or forest. They do not recognize the individual plants or appreciate the interconnection of timing with butterflies, birds and bees. Your wisdom enriches all of our lives. THANK YOU from Monarch Waystation #875!

Here's hoping that Monarch Watch continues to soar!

I saw a Monarch today and I was so excited! The first since I returned to my home state 4 years ago. I spread milkweed seeds all over town last fall. I see a resurgence of milkweeds - not, obviously from my seeds, but just general health of the environment. As I child I helped collect milkweed "silk" for the US paratroopers.  They were all over the place. I was dismayed when I returned to find so few. But they are not gone, and I hope with people like you, they will continue to thrive.

I am so thankful for everything you have done to promote awareness of monarchs. I have collected eggs and raised monarchs on a small scale since I was a kid, just as a hobby for fun. I am a kindergarten teacher and usually I bring my eggs and caterpillars to school so my students can enjoy them too. It's hard to imagine not having Monarch Watch as a resource to go to for information!

I prize the picture I have with your assistant recording the info from "our tags". We also enjoyed being involved with the tagging program last year for the first time - ran out of tags and have ordered double the amount this year.

It gives me great pleasure to join with other Monarch enthusiasts and supporters in wishing you the happiest of birthdays and joyful coming years.

Sue Addy
Thank you for all the work you have done in helping me inspire and enrich my student's understanding of the Monarch Butterfly. They have gained thrilling first-hand experience looking for, feeding, and most of all observing a caterpillar change into a chrysalis and then emerge as a butterfly. Because of this classroom experience many of my students have gone on to plant their own milkweed and nectaring gardens. When I run into my former students at restaurants or stores their memory of raising the Monarchs in the classroom is ALWAYS the first thing they mention. The information I have received from you through Monarch Watch has deepened and broadened my teaching and has inspired future generations of young people to love, protect and become stewards of the environment and the Monarch Butterflies.

Lisa Trahan
This will be my third year tagging Monarchs but I have been raising and releasing them since I was a child. As a substitute teacher, I was fortunate enough to tag at one of the schools I frequent and educate faculty and students on Monarchs and tagging. What you do for Monarch Watch is so important to maintaining the balance that Nature has created. Thank you for caring so much about a creature that many would pass over as insignificant. Happy birthday and keep up the good work!

I and my family became involved with the monarch butterfly in 2003 when our daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. On her rear visits home from the hospital, she and I would climb our mountain to the field that is dominated by milkweed. Counting the monarch caterpillars was the one distraction from all the chemotherapy my daughter was enduring and the one thing that made her feel good was to see how many caterpillars she could find. That insect really helped my daughter get through some tough days and now I feel like we owe something to that butterfly. We maintain over 4 acres of milkweed as our way of saying thank you and tag monarchs every September. Thanks for all you do for the monarchs!

When I stumbled upon the Monarch Watch website many years ago, I never could have imagined how much enjoyment I was to have growing milkweed, collecting eggs and caterpillars, tagging and releasing new monarchs and sharing all that I have learned with so many others, especially kids. Thanks for all you do for monarchs and for us. Happy Birthday!

I love tagging Monarchs. The hunter in me emerges...which is a rare opportunity for a vegetarian ;-) A really big additional boost is my students love the whole experience of watching the caterpillars grow, emerging from the chrysalis, tagging the adult, then learning if any are found in Mexico (two this past year, yeah). Happy Birthday!

They call me the 'Butterfly Teacher' at school and say I’m an expert. I know that’s not really the case; but the things I do know come from years of experience with Monarch Watch. Thanks for giving us 'regular' folk a chance to partner in scientific endeavors and keep on learning!

Hey, Chip. I only wish you were fully aware of the impact MonarchWatch has had on our zoo, our volunteers, our Master Naturalist students, our visitors, our staff. Thank you for sharing the wonder of monarchs with all of us, keep up the great work, and remember to ask all of us for help when you or the program needs it. We care about you, we care about the project…it matters!!!!

Tia Murchie-Beyma
You've opened up a world of wonder for our family in Virginia. Say, wanna know why we're forced to eat dinner on the floor tonight? Yes, your inspiration is largely to blame for making our dining room unavailable during monarch season. We have 102 monarchs in there, from eggs to chrysalis, all gathered from our Monarch Waystation. Milkweed and monarchs have been spreading through our circle of friends, too.  Every kid we've invited to tag with us has taken home seeds and plants. Even our local post office has milkweed in its garden now -- but I won't say who planted it. It's a disease, I tell you. We'll toast you at Halloween when we get our darned table back. :-)

Thank you for all you've done and will continue to do for the Monarch butterfly. Thank you for educating us on the necessity of preserving the forests of Mexico where these wonderful creatures overwinter. Keep up the great work!!!!!

I've been tagging Monarchs for 8 years now with high school students here in Vermont and I fully support the efforts of Monarch Watch. For the sake of the species and the benefits of learning about stewardship for students, I want your organization to thrive into the future!
243.
Gerald Axelbaum
What a pleasure to honor you on this birthday Chip!  Just as you didn't know back in '92 how this small project would affect your life, neither did I know how responding to a perhaps 30 word posting in the NSTA newsletter seeking "teachers to participate in a research project tagging monarch butterflies" would affect my life, the  members of my family and extended family,  countless friends of my children, and lastly, the lives of countless fifth graders at my school who studied, reared, caught and tagged monarchs for years to come.

In memory of my good butterflying friend, Pat Jaffray who passed away 4 years ago. Several years ago, Chip and an intern came to Virginia and we went out to release a group of Monarchs that he brought with him from Kansas. We stood in a large field, took them out of the cooler and one by one and released them. With our compasses we followed them as far as we could to document what direction they flew. We gave him a group of butterflies that we had collected in this area which they were going to release in another state in the south to observe their flight pattern. It was so much fun, I learned so much and came to realize how truly dedicated Chip is. He truly changed my life and I am in a unique position as an educator at the Smithsonian's National Zoo to do the same with others. Pat is gone, but I still tag Monarchs every year in butterfly gardens at home, in the community and and at the Zoo where I work.

Happy Birthday, Chip, with many appreciative thanks for creating Monarch Watch. Little did you dream how huge it would become! Thanks to you and your endeavors, I’ve been able to continue taking the ‘monarch message’ to the public, helping to raise people’s awareness - along with raising and tagging hundreds of monarchs. (Love those little critters! I started tagging with Professor Urquhart and his IMA in 1972).

We didn’t realize how much fun we’d have just by letting a volunteer Common Milkweed plant grow in our yard two years ago. This year we’ve got a healthy 7 plants and have gotten to see Monarchs lay eggs on the plants 3 times. Monarch Watch website has been very helpful in knowing how to raise them indoors. We’ve gotten all the neighboring kids doing it and grandmothers telling their grandkids in other states about it, with the hope of making sure generations to come see the beauty and value in this incredible species. Thanks for lighting the fire! Congratulations on such a wonderful and meaningful achievement. You’ve brought joy to many.

Sondra Cabell
With monarch tagging I am able to reach over 500 participants each fall - from preschoolers through great grandparents. Some of my tagging programs are at nursing homes and care facilities where we take monarchs there to tag and release, but many are getting folks out into a prairie or field to experience the natural world through the monarch tagging experience. Monarch biology and habitat concerns - with the explaination of how individuals can help by creating waystations - are a part of every tagging program. I can't think of anything that could replace the tagging conduit for connecting people with the natural world and I hope and pray for the continuation of the tagging program. Happy Birthday!

We moved to Lawrence from the Northwest 3 years ago and immediately learned about and participated in the Monarch Tagging events. My two young children enjoyed it so much that it really made their move to Lawrence so much easier. We began creating butterfly gardens in our new yard. It has become such a big part of our lives and keeps my children enjoying the outdoors. Just yesterday they counted 24 monarch caterpillars in their garden and it's so much fun to watch my kids cheer the caterpillars on through the process. Chip and Monarch Watch improves the quality of life in Lawrence and helps make it a family friendly place to live. Thank you!

Tim Reece
Warm greetings…In simple words thank-you for your dedicated research of Monarch Butterflies, and another, even greater thank-you to you and Monarch Watch to help re-kindle my love of the Monarch Butterfly and provide the resources to spark the same love to my youngest daughter, Karlee. I greatly enjoyed raising, catching, and tagging Monarch’s as a kid for Dr. Fred Urquhart (early 70’s) and am now carrying this passion (with Monarch Watch’s assistance) onto another generation.

Happy Birthday Chip! I started raising Monarchs about 19 years. Each spring I go out and collect the eggs and then release them when they are butterflies. The largest crop was about 90. I use to travel with my job and had to get butterfly sitters to take care of them while I was gone. I have taken them to work and shared with colleagues. I have even been given Monarch worms for Mother’s day. And all along I used your site for inspiration and information. Thank you for all that you do for nature!

I've been tagging since 2007, and was absolutely thrilled when two of "my" monarchs were recovered in Mexico.  That further inspired me to contribute as it was a thrill of a lifetime. I've enjoyed learning about these beautiful creatures and hopefully adding to the knowledge about them.

Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do to save our precious Monarchs. I feel so lucky to have found the Monarch Watch web site! It has been such a great resource for me on raising Monarchs. I was so upset this Spring when I read that it may not be here for me next year. Now I know that there are many, many more people who felt the same way. And we are all happy to know now that it will be there for us. Thanks again and please - Keep up the good work!!
