My Mom and I were walking in Norbuck Park (Dallas, TX) when something strange caught my eye. I looked again and saw hundreds of tiny silhouettes- they were all Monarch butterflies. I was amazed but I also wanted to find out why they were there.
We looked up information on Monarchs and the type of shrub we saw them feeding on- Baccharis Shrubs and we found out all about the Monarch's migration from Canada to Mexico. We also determined that the butterflies were most likely stopping on Norbuck Park to feed on the Bacchris nectar and roost for the evening.
