I have a lengthy CD I purchased from Maryland Public TV – and it is so totally amazing. No words to describe this beautiful migration. How do they do it?? Mystery to me.

I always pictured Mexico as totally dry like a desert. It’s amazing how the butterflies find their way there every single year. I hope the Mexican government leaves that forest as it is so the Monarchs can continue to go there.
