Dear friends,

It has been a whole month since the monarch butterflies arrived here in Mexico. The weather has been perfect, sunny days with moderately cold nights. A good rainy season has provided ideal levels of water and humidity in the Oyamel fir forests. The warm winter begins, and the monarchs have relocated in both Sanctuaries. 

December and the monarch overwintering season are here. Ana Moreno provides an update from Cerro Pelon Sanctuary in Mexico. Plus, a special invitation to report winter monarch sightings in the Southeastern U.S.
