Migrating Monarchs
From Nebraska to New York, the leading edge of monarch migration is hovering around latitude 40-41°N, a slight increase from last week. At this same time last year, monarchs were farther north. Ongoing cool spring temperatures could be affecting the pace of migration this year. Based on our Monarch Adult (FIRST sighted) map, any guesses on where monarchs will arrive next?

Dear Western Monarch Friends,
Overlapping Generations
May is at the doorstep. At this time of the season, migration is a story of overlapping generations. Monarchs from overwintering populations are nearing the end and their offspring are beginning to advance into summer breeding territories. Be on the lookout and report your monarch and milkweed observations to Journey North.
