Spring Migrating Monarchs

Progress has picked up since last week's update. Within the central flyway, the northern edge of monarch migration has held near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Along the Atlantic seaboard, monarchs are making their way northward to South Carolina. Texas remains a hot spot for monarch first sightings.
