Surprising number of monarchs in Arizona's lower deserts
After a time of few monarch sightings, a new generation of monarchs is beginning to appear and continue its spring migration. California is reporting monarchs mainly in coastal regions but also further north in Santa Cruz and Marin counties. In Arizona, a surprising number of monarchs are appearing in the lower deserts, delighting homeowners in desert areas. Meanwhile, in the higher elevations of Arizona, a late-season snow blanketed the highlands on Easter weekend. Luckily, monarchs are safely remaining in the south.
