Western Monarch Butterfly Thanksgiving Counts 2014
November 15 – December 7
Current Listings of Population and Data for Southern California
(Some listings for Santa Barbara, San Louis Obispo and Alameda Counties are included)
Central and Northern California Populations are listed at www.westernmonarchcount.org/data/
General Information is found at the Western Monarch Count Resource Center www.westernmonarchcount.org
(Note: Extremely dry and hot Santa Ana Winds on Nov. 16 & 17 in Los Angeles & Ventura Counties, and Nov. 24 in San Diego County, influenced many butterflies to take flight, move or hide in low dark areas — causing a less accurate count. Information not yet received is represented by the symbol “-“).
