Along the Monarch Migration Highway

In November, Journey North observers noted the ongoing southward migration of monarchs along the central and eastern flyways. While some stragglers, reaching as far north as Michigan, still have a considerable distance to cover, monarchs in Tennessee have a shorter journey before reaching Mexico. However, concerns arise as cold temperatures are anticipated across the Eastern U.S. this weekend.

His meticulous observations documented the remarkable plant diversity in various regions and latitudes, including the states of Mexico and eastern Michoacán, where migratory monarch butterflies have overwintered for centuries.
