June 21, 2005 Dear Students and Teachers, It's now the middle of June. Look how far the migration has expanded! The northernmost monarch has now been reported from latitude 50N in Manitoba. That is 2,147 miles (3,455 km) north of the overwintering sites in Mexico! Remember, distances are measured "as the crow flies." However, no single butterfly flew this far. It took at least two generations. Use this information to locate some of the new monarch sightings this week: Date Town St/Prov Lat (N) Long (W) 06/15/05 Winnipeg MB 49.53 -97.08 06/12/05 Kennebunk ME 43.40 -70.57 06/12/05 Traverse City MI 44.75 -85.70 06/06/05 St. Paul MN 44.91 -92.92 Saludos!
