DR. URQUHART'S MONARCH BUTTERFLY 1975 PUBLICATION BIDDING

Dr. Urquhart's 1975 publication to his researchers

Table of Contents

(Note: Click photos to enlarge) My brother, Dr. Eugene Morton, knew I loved the Monarch butterfly. In addition to creating Monarch Waystation No. 613 in Fremont, Ohio, I helped him create a waystation at the Hemlock Hill Biological Field Station in NW Pa. The field station is an inherited farm from our father, who bought it after retiring in the 60's. It has since been turned into a tall grass prairie with plenty of woodlands. Students from York University in Toronto have conducted bird studies there as well under the tutelage of my brother's wife, Dr. Bridget Stutchbury.

While organizing the field station's files, my brother uncovered a 37-year-old publication sent out from Dr. Urquhart and his wife to his Research Associates, which included my brother. I read through it and found Urquhart's early, ground-breaking Monarch butterfly research interesting. For the good of the order, I decided to hold an "auction" and offer it for sale. The highest bidder wins, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Project Monarch Watch.

I snapped a few photos of the 41-page publication, which is titled "Insect Migration Studies- Annual Newsletter To Research Associates", Volume 12, 1975. Here's the bidding and donation process:
