As September gives way to October, sightings continue to roll in from dedicated Journey North volunteers, painting a picture of the fall migration story.

Around the eastern half of Lake Erie, where monarchs congregate before making the jump of 30 miles or more across this Great Lake, we can see the migration path as it forms.
