Dear Friends,

This beautiful Oyamel forest region in Central México, located right at the border of the state of Michoacán and the state of México, slowly wakes up after a quiet Summer and Autumn.

As Monarchs left last March, our beautiful swallow migration -- too far from being as large in number as that of Monarchs --  filled up Monarchs' absence for a while, doing their nesting and breeding season until late in July.
