June 2, 2004 Dear Students and Teachers, Greetings from your friends at Journey North! More and more students in North America are seeing their first monarchs. Monarch numbers are building as more and more members of the first spring generation are on the wing, and arriving in new places, but spring has been on hold in many northern tier U.S. states and in southern Canada. As the cool, damp weather moves out we expect a flurry of monarchs to move in. How far north do you think the monarchs will migrate? Why? We're glad you'll be tracking their migration north with us this spring.
