Surprise at the Sanctuary
The El Rosario population has doubled now!
I was yesterday Saturday morning in El Rosario, and can tell you that Monarchs keep wonderfully still at the same site, moving only some meters here and there within the same site; it is a little cloudt and yesterdaty even some drops or rain --only drops--, fell down. which means this might help them stay a few more days. I will be keeping a really close eye on their leaving.
The Next Generation
Laying eggs as they travel, northbound butterflies are delivering the next generation.

Dear Friends:
I am just arriving from Rosario and you cannot believe! The monarchs are now all concentrated at the main spot in Llano Cruzado and it looks just as if they had just arrived! Around 12 trees are full in their mid to low branches. See the top two photos below. This is March 28 and it is unbelievable. People at the Sanctuaries say: 'This is like a miracle! It is indeed a blessing!'"
Wave of Arrival in Texas
Observers reported monarchs by the hundreds along the Texas Gulf Coast. This is the largest coastal migration we’ve ever seen.
