Dear Journey North Readers,
That time of year has come again, the end of another spring migration. The only migratory activity left is up in Alaska, where Wilson’s Warblers, Blackpoll Warblers, Northern Waterthrushes, and Gray-cheeked Thrushes continue to arrive. Everywhere else, birds have settled into breeding mode.

Dear Western Monarch Friends,
Monarchs are stretching into Oregon while new monarch reports are still appearing in Nevada, Arizona, California and Utah. Southern California has a surge in sightings as monarchs along the coast continue to breed locally. Meanwhile milkweed is up in Idaho and just in time too as monarchs are beginning to arrive.
