SUMMARY:CANCELED - Conservancy Day: Tagging Monarch Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:August Conservancy Day Canceled (8/17/2020)\n\nOur August Conservancy Day has been cancelled due to the coronavirus situation in Dane County. We thank you for your interest. \nPlease consider attending a talk sponsored by Madison Audubon on Dragonflies and Damselflies being held live on Facebook on Tuesday evening\, August 18\, at 7:00 pm as an alternative. \n\n\nYou can learn about the wide diversity and amazing lifestyle of dragon- and damselflies with Dan Jackson. Dan will share the life cycle of these creatures\, most common species in southern Wisconsin\, and some fascinating tidbits about these ferocious predators. \nDan is a naturalist and a past President and the current Treasurer of both the Wisconsin Dragonfly Society and the Coulee Region Audubon Society. He grew up near LaCrosse and has lived in southwest Wisconsin for 25 years. He is a record reviewer for the Wisconsin Odonata Survey\, BugGuide.net\, Odonata Central (the Odonata survey of the Dragonfly Society of the Americas)\, and eBird. \nEvenings with Audubon presentations are typically held in person during spring and fall\, but they are bringing it to you online this year! To tune in live\, visit Madison Audubon’s Facebook page on August 18\, 7:00pm and wait for the live feed to start. Can’t attend live? No worries\, they will post a link to the recording on their website afterwards. \n\n_____ \nHelp us tag monarch butterflies in the Conservancy!  Monarch tagging starts nationwide on the first official day of monarch migration\, close to the middle of August. Citizens across the country will tag monarchs as they migrate south to Mexico. When a tagged butterfly is recaptured elsewhere along its migratory route\, the tagger will be notified about where and when it was found\, by whom\, and how many miles it traveled. \nDiane Dempsey is a naturalist who has worked in the area for the past 23 years.  You may have met her at the U.W. Arboretum or Pheasant Branch Conservancy or had her as an instructor if you were a student in the Middleton-Cross Plains school district.  She is a native of Chicago and received her Master’s Degree from Northern Illinois University where she focused on aquatic insects.  She is an instructor with the U.W. Extension Master Naturalist Program.  She has been an active volunteer with Project Monarch Watch since 2012. \nRSVPs appreciated but not necessary. \nEvery Conservancy Day is: \n\nFree — thanks to your donations and membership as a Friend\nOpen to the public\nFor all ages unless a specific age group is given in the program description\nDiverse topics — More than 400 participants each year enjoy topics ranging from wildlife\, science\, resource management\, natural and cultural history and current community issues\n\nThank you for your generous gifts and participation. You make it possible and you make it great! We welcome you to join us and help spread the word! Mark your calendars for these inspiring and special events the third Thursday of each month\, from January through November. \nPhoto credit: Thomas Stringfellow
