Queridos amigos,
Las mariposas Monarca están a punto de llegar a su destino final en sus bosques de hibernación de árboles de Oyamel en el centro de México, después de su largo viaje al sur este otoño.
Estamos seguros de que ustedes las extrañan tanto como nosotros cuando ellas se van en la primavera, verdad?

Dear friends,
After a long journey south this fall, monarch butterflies are about to reach their overwintering home in the Oyamel forests of central México.
Cape May a "Highway" of Migrating Monarchs!
Situated along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the New Jersey (NJ) Audubon Cape May Bird Observatory provides an ideal location for bird and butterfly watching, especially during fall migration. Cape May is a narrow peninsula with Delaware Bay on the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The Cape May peninsula forms a bird funnel, directing migrating songbirds, hawks, and monarchs along the coastline during spring and fall migration.
