A Monarch with tag RAX967 was discovered at a park in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada on September 22.
Co-ordinates 43.698061 - 79.255457.
Would be great to ID the source.

Following up on this Monarch's journey - one day, about 43 km (27 Miles) SW along the Lake shore (see https://picasaweb.google.com/1164438858 ... rchRAX967# for a map).

I posted your sighting to the Dplex-L email list and that is how I connected you with Jim.

http://www.monarchwatch.org/dplex/index.htm
Dplex-L is the name of our electronic mailing list and discussion group on the Internet. If you have an internet Email account, you can join in!
We have finally reached a critical number of subscribers who are well-distributed along migratory routes. Reports of the migration by subscribers allow many students and teachers to follow the migration before, during and after their tagging. Many spectacular observations of the migration have been made by Monarch Watchers in previous years. Information on recovered tags are reported to the list. Subscribers also post questions, provide useful tips and tricks on the use of Monarchs in classrooms and report news of meetings and conservation efforts. Following reports to the list is a good way to learn much more about Monarchs. Presently there are more than 500 subscribers from 11 countries on Dplex-L; however, we need more of you to join in, so...

To receive more information about Dplex-L, just send an e-mail message to Listproc@ku.edu; in the body of the message type: INFO DPLEX-L

Do not type anything in the Subject field and do not include any extraneous text - these requests are processed by a computer. You will receive an Email message that summarizes the goals of the list and includes ListProc commands you'll need to know in order to subscribe/unsubscribe and participate.
