>As part of a week-long series called "Today Goes Wild", the Today 
>show will have a 6 min segment on monarch butterflies. Most of the 
>filming was done in Mexico, near Cerro Pelon and Sierra Chincua, two 
>of the major monarch overwintering sites, and some of the shots 
>should show monarchs streaming down the mountains in preparation for 
>their return flight northward at the beginning of March. A number of 
>scientists who study monarchs , including myself, were interviewed 
>for the segment. The Monarch Watch tagging program will be mentioned 
>in the piece. A short clip from Lincoln Brower's flyover of the 
>monarch reserve showing the extent of deforestation in the Monarch 
>Biosphere Reserve will be included.
>
>An additional live element will involve planting a butterfly garden. 
>For this segment they required plants already in bloom so it will be 
>interesting to see if they were able to find any of the butterfly 
>plants I suggested.
