Darlene Burgess passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. Darlene Burgess was a Monarch Steward with Monarch Watch. Darlene was an active volunteer with Journey North submitting over 700 observational reports of monarchs and hummingbirds. From her post at Point Pelee National Park, a national park in Essex County in southwestern Ontario, Canada, Darlene captured the fall migration of monarchs. We looked forward to seeing her monarch roost photos every year. Darlene will be missed but remember every year as monarchs migrate to their overwintering sanctuaries in central Mexico.
