Western Monarchs Update
Monarchs stretched across the Western States as their fall migration continued. They have been seen stopping to nectar on native sunflowers and rabbitbrush across the land but have also visited tithonia and butterfly bush in urban yards to refuel. Favorable temperatures and winds are helping them on their way.
