Field Notes
Description:
Monarch butterflies from the winter reserve of "El Rosario" in Michoacan, Mexico.One of the most amazing experiences I have ever lived.
Habitat:
Fir-pine forest. Spending the winter here, waiting for spring to return to the United States and Canada in one of the great migrations of the animal kindom.
Notes:
This year's report says it is one of the lowest number recorded of monarch butterflies to arrive to their winter grounds. It is very sad news.
