Mid Coast Monarch (Danaus plexipus) Count
Calhoun County, Texas
to look at the information that has been gathered there by the staff over many years. Notice that
there are two fall flyways thru Texas, the central flyway, basically San Antonio west almost to
the Big Bend, where 90%+ of the monarchs east of the Rockies (200+ million) migrate
generally southwest to the sanctuaries in central Mexico and then a lessor known and smaller
group in what is called the coastal flyway that migrate a week or two later. Altus and I have
become acquainted with the latter group over the last seven and eight years because they pass
near our backyard here in Port Lavaca as they come from the general direction of Trinity Bay
and Galvestion Bay from the northeast of us.
