A High-Activity Winter

The monarchs started off the season above this meadow, named El Llano de Tres Gobernadores, where they descended on an almost daily basis throughout the season to drink dew and fly in circles. This photo, taken February 12, 2018, is a sample of the high level of flight activity and dew drinking we saw this year. The monarchs are ending the season clustering in trees just below where this photo was taken.
