Darlene Burgess passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. Darlene Burgess was a Monarch Steward with Monarch Watch. Darlene was an active volunteer with Journey North submitting over 700 observational reports of monarchs and hummingbirds. From her post at Point Pelee National Park, a national park in Essex County in southwestern Ontario, Canada, Darlene captured the fall migration of monarchs. We looked forward to seeing her monarch roost photos every year.
