The End of the Hunt
Hi kids,This is my last blog from Louisiana. Yesterday morning, Ms. Roath videoconferenced with her school for the last time. See the video! Then we packed up the bunkhouse, making sure that it was cleaner then when we arrived, and headed to New Orleans. After stopping by the lab and settiing up the caterpillars on their racks we checked back in to the Parkview Guest house. Last night we enjoyed some wonderful New Orleans cooking and jazz music.
This morning we continued working in the lab cataloging the last batch of caterpillars and checking on the earlier ones. We had our last videonconferences and I videoconferenced with the 8th grade. After lunch we tried to go to The Insectarium, a musem of insects, but we were too late. We toured a little more around downtown New Orleans before dinner. Tomorrow I will be flying back to Connecticut and I'll see you all on Thursday.
1. For today, first go to http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/monarch/sl/16/0.html and watch the slideshow on "When, Where and How to Watch Fall Monarch Migration"
2. Answer the questions in the slideshow:
How many monarchs per minute can you count?
How many monarchs per hour would that be?
Where would you like to watch migration after looking at this map?
What questions does it raise?
When do monarchs begin to roost where you live?

I would like to watch monarchs in Mexico.
One question I have is "how do they survive?"
how do those monarchs make it unharmed
Why do all the monarchs fly to Texas or over Taxes
hey Mrs. Rodrequez,
I saw 11 butterflys in one mintue. That means that there would be 660 butterflys in one hour. If I were to go looking for migration i would go to rhode island where i go camping. there is a huge field and id lay there and look up at the sky. How many butterflys actually make it without dieing out of all the butterflys that migrate?
Septemer 27 - october 3
in early spring the monarchs began to roost
Icounted 13 Monarchs per minute so that would be 780 per hour! The Monarchs like the western part of the U.S. My question on that is why don't they like the middle of the U.S.? The Monarchs like to roost on September 20 - October 3.

I see eleven Monarchs per minute. That’s 660 per hour.I would like to look at Monarchs in Willington, Connecticut, because its convenient, however I do wonder why they seem to avoid the Rocky Mountains. Monarchs roost during September in CT.
Hi Mrs. Rodriquez. I thought that the website was pretty cool. I had counted 19 Monarchs per minute and 1,140 per hour. Where I would like to watch the butterflies migrate is in texas because that is where they roost late and early so i can see a lot of things. Where they start to roost here is about Early October.
Gabe L.
Dear miss Rodriguez when I was counting the monarchs I sow 18 of them and when I was done I counted 26 I don't get it there are different numbers.
your fav student Alex
12 butterflies per minute, which means 720 butterflies per hour! I think I would like to watch the butterflies in Mexico. I don't think I have any further questions. And I can't see any monarchs at my house. See you tomorrow!
hi this is my last blog entry but the good thing is that u are coming back i cant wait to see you guess what on that page i found 12per minute so in an hour there will be 72 .monarchs in the 1 hour. i also found out that monarchs migrate during the day and come down at the night to roost. If i could go somewhere to watch the butterflies i would want to go to texas because it is a big place and there could be alot of butterflies i would also whant to go somewhere in the south because thats where they migrate for the winter and i bet i would see alot. Danielle
i hope you had a nice trip i have also got a vary cool freind to show
you
nickb
I saw 12 monarchs on the page in 1 minute which would be 720 per hour.
I would like to watch migration around the area of Missorri.
Some questions that the map raises are if there a specific reason that monarchs are in the eastern region more then the western region. Also, Why are monarchs so spred out?
September 6-12 are the times where monarchs in our area start to roosst.
codi
I say 12 monarchs per min. so that would be 720 monarchs
i would want to watch migration in new orleans.
one question is do all the monarchs end up in on spot.
the roost here from october 1 to october 4 to october 10.
see you tomorrow
Yo waz poppin homie i counted 20 buterflys in the minute! :):):):):)

Hey Mrs. Rodriguez! Nick P. here! I hope you had a good time in New Orleans. Her are the answers to your questions:
1.There would be 720 monarchs per hour.
2.I would like to watch migration in Connecticut because it is one of the areas that the monarchs fly over to get to Mexico and we live in Connecticut so I wouldn't have to travel far.
3.Whats the difference between the Monarchs that come from the yellow are from the red area?
4. Monarchs begin to roost in late September to early October.
I counted 20 butterflies in one minute and 1,200 in one hour.In Texas. How many go by in one week? In the summer.
15 per minit 60 per hour roost at night no questions
I counted 16 in one minute. That would be 960 an hour. The question that i am wondering is if they always go back to the same location or if they go to a different location every year. I would like to watch from Texas because the monarchs go through Texas to get to Mexico. They begin to roost the first thing before going to far off. I hope that you had a good time at New Orleans.
Mrs Rodriguez i counted 1140 butterflies going by in one hour and 19 in a minuet.
Michael giangrande
I counted 17 in a min. and 1020 in an hour.

14 per minute
840 per hour
Mexico
Is it very hard for them to fly there?
They do about in the spring
i am wondering if all types of butterflies migrate to the rocky mountains???
Hello, Mrs. Rodriguez! I enjoyed your brief movie and the monarch slideshow. In the show, I managed to spot 14 monarchs in one minute, resulting in a total of 840 monarchs per hour. After viewing the map of migration, I would choose to view monarchs primarlu in the Southeast; their are plenty of monarchs and the weather conditions would be ideal for the butterflies. This map raises questions such as: are their any other differences between eastern and western monarch populations such as appearance and size? Why is the eastern population so much more widespread? How do weather conditions in the east and west affect the two populations? In Connecticut, monarchs begin migration from September 20-26.
Thanks again for the video. We're looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
hey mrs. rodrigues. i found out why my blogs weren't being sent and if this gets there it's proof that now i know how to send a blog correctlty.

-skyley
Hi Mrs. Rodriguez- I'm glad that you're coming back tomorrow!
--> I found 21 butterflies in 1 minute. If I translate that to and hour, it would be 1,260. I think it would be cool to watch all the butterflies migrate from Texas. I wonder why the butterflies don't cross the Rocky Mountains. Maybe it's because it's too cold or too high for them to fly. Monarchs only migrate during the day so the roost during night. The roost could stay for one night or a few weeks. Where we live the butterflies roost sept. 20-26.
here are my answers!!!!!!
1.I counted 13 butterflies per minute
2.that would be 780 butterflies per hour
3 I would like to watch migration in Mexico
4.I would like to know are monarchs the only butterflies migrate? what was the earliest times the butterflies start coming back?
5.they start migrating around August 30 and September 5.
i hope you had a lot of fun in New Orleans but I am glad your coming back!!!!!!

Dear Mrs. Rodriguez,
1. I would see 12 butterflies in one minute.
2. I would probably see 720 butterflies in one hour.
3. I would like to watch the migration in Mexico where all the butterflies come in vast amounts.
4. What questions might pop up maybe are how do the butterflies know where to go every year? What might the butterflies reactions be at the end of the journey?
Also what does it look like to see all the butterflies?
5. The butterflies begin to roost on September 37 and go till October 3rd.
1. I counted 12 butterflies in the slide show.
2. That would be 720butterflies in 1 hour.
3. I would like to watch in the east of the Rocky Mountains.
4. I would like to know if there are different kinds of Monarchs in the areas or if it is just one type spread out over the east and west of the Rocky Mountains.
5. They begin to roost around September 20- September 26.
In one minute I saw 15 butterfly's. In one hour I would see 900 butterfly's. on the map butterfly's would rest around here between September 20th to the 26th. i would want to be on Mexicos border when the butterflys come in. How many butterflys would you see?
Hi Mrs. Rodriguez!
For answer number 1 I got 12 butterflies per minute. For number 2 I got that in one hour 720 butterflies migrate. That is a lot of butterflies. For number 3 I got I would like to watch migration in Texas because that is the end of their journey. For number 4 I got How do they know where to go? What are they doing to prepare for their trip? For number 5 I got Sept 27 to October 3.
2.I saw 15 butterflies in one minute while I was watching the slide show
3.it would be 15*60=900
4.i would like to see the butterflies in the mexican borarder.
5. Sep. 20 through Sep.26
around sep. 20-sep. 26.the butterflies are around our area.i could count 15 btterflies.i would see 900-1000 butterflies.
Per minute I counted 10 Monarchs.
If you continued to watch you would see about 600 in an hour.
If I could watch the Monarchs anywhere I think I would go to Mexico because I think it would be cool to see all the Monarchs from all over coming in to one place for the winter.
A question that this raises for me is why the Monarchs go to two separate palaces instead of one?
The monarchs begin their roost around September 27 to October 3’d. The best time to watch then would probity tomorrow because it’s in the mittle of the time that they fly in Connecticut so they would probably be the most
Hi Mrs. Rodriguez I just watched the video and can't wait to see you again!
Hey Mrs Rodriguez, it's Erik! The answers to your questions for me are 13 per minute, 780 per hour, Texas, do they like the desert and September 27-October 3.
Have fun!!!
How many monarchs per minute can you count: 13 monarchs
How many monarchs per hour would that be: 780 monarchs
Where would you like to watch migration after looking at this map: I would watch for migrating butterflies in Texas because there are quite a few that migrate through there.
What questions does it raise: Some questions I would have are how many survived so far, will they roost near me, and if they are all healthy or battered and bruised.
When do monarchs begin to roost where you live: They start to pass by during August so they might stop down to rest or eat near my house during August.

Mrs. Rodriguez,
I am answering to your Tuesday blog.
In the slideshow I saw 15 monarchs per minute, so it would be 900 monarchs per hour. Where I live monarchs migrate from September 20th to 26th and from September 27th to October 3rd. When monarchs migrate I would like to watch the ones that are coming from the east coast, specifically in CT. I would watch the butterflies in the beginning of their journey. When I looked on the graph that showed where the monarchs migrated, I was wondering where there is a space where they don't migrate from and why there was more butterflies migrating from the eastern side of the U.S.
From Sarah Pallanck
Hi Mrs. Rodriguez,
I counted 12 buterflies in 1 minute which would become 720 butterflies in an hour.
I would like to watch butterflies migrate in California because I would see a different type of butterflies and all western butterflies have to go through some part of California to get to their destination. questions I might have in California are since it is the ending of their journey are they tired? Will they stop longer here because they know they are close to their destination?
Monarchs begin to roost where I live around September 20th.
Vanessa 7-2
I counted 14 butterflies that fell on the page there is 840 butterflies that would fall on the page in one hour I would like to stay in Connecticut and watch the migration of butterflies I really don’t know when butterflies roost where I live I think roost means come out and if I does then I would guess during the spring cause that’s usally when I se them miss you cant wait to see you mrs rodriguz!
I saw 12 butterflies per minute that would be 720 butterflies per hour. The Monarchs start to roost in Connecticut about September 20th-26th. When I saw the area the traveled i wondered how they could travel so far on such delicate wings.I would watch in Mexico because thats were the most butterflies would be.
Ariana M.
i can count 11 butterflies per minute. that would be 660 buterflies per hour.i would like to go to Texas to whatch the migration. Are the butterflies going to stop before they make it to Mexico. Monarchs start roosting in Connecticut in september 20 which is the best time to whatch for butterflies.
Hi Mrs. Rodriguez!
I know you must be sad to leave, but I am so happy for you to come and tell us all about your expeirience! I saw 14 butterflies on the web page in one minute. That would be 840 butterflies in one hour. If I were to see the butterflies migrate anywhere I wanted, I would want to see them In Maraland because then they wouldn't all die along tthe route. Why do the California butterflies not go to Mexico? Butterflies begin to roost between September 6-the 12.
See you soon!
