Dear Students,

German Medina writes
from Angangueo |
Observations at the El Cerrito staging area:
Nov. 1: About 10 trees were covered with butterflies (10,000 each?)
Nov. 2: Same as the day before.
Nov. 3: Around 30 trees were completely covered
Nov. 4: About 35 trees covered with monarchs
Nov. 5: Only 25 trees covered (some evidently moved on to sanctuaries?)
Nov. 6: Suddenly only 5 trees covered (and not as many as at first)
As of the 6th, it seems the monarchs all flew on to the El Rosario sanctuary. The only places monarchs were observed was in El Cerrito. They never appeared at the other 3 staging areas: “Los Cebadas,” “La Canada,” or “Los Cedros,” which somehow surprised me. On November 3, when such quantity had arrived, as I approached them they looked as if to ask, ‘Now German, would you dare to count us one by one?’
All of the days since October 31 have been terribly cloudy and cold. We’ve got hurricanes on the Pacific. I will continue monitoring weekly
Kind regards.
