Sights of the celebration in Angangueo, located near the Sierra Chincua and El Rosario Sanctuaries.

Dear Friends:

I am just arriving from Rosario and you cannot believe! The monarchs are now all concentrated at the main spot in Llano Cruzado and it looks just as if they had just arrived!  Around 12 trees are full in their mid to low branches. See the top two photos below. This is March 28 and it is unbelievable. People at the Sanctuaries say: 'This is like a miracle! It is indeed a blessing!'"
