Larry,  at which Brooklyn corner are you? Where/how do you get tagging 
supplies and might sound dumb but how to determine the sex of a butterfly? 
This is something we could take part in, perhaps?

We have a number of monarchs here from time to time. Now I have a bit of 
milkweed growing.

We had our first Monarch in our field this evening. Definitely a Monarch but 
it was flitting so much we could not determine its sex. Hopefully there will 
be more so we ordered our tagging supplies. There is a lot of milkweed to 
feed on and it is starting to flower.

While on Monarch Watch's facebook page I discovered the following News Item.

BREAKING NEWS! From The White House: "... the Federal Government will also 
work to restore the Monarch butterfly migration using research and habitat 
improvements that will benefit Monarchs as well as other native pollinators 
and honey bees. These actions support the February 2014 Joint Statement by 
President Obama, Prime Minister Harper of Canada, and President Peņa Nieto 
of Mexico to renew and expand collaboration between North American nations 
to conserve the Monarch butterfly."

I had not heard that.
