NBC -Today Show 16 May 2007

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.
