The monarch butterfly is unique in its ability to migrate thousands of miles to complete a miraculous journey from Canada, across North America to find a particular mountainside in Central where it has never been. Using not totally understood navigational sensors in their antennas they can locate the Oyamel fir tree forests in Michoacan Mexico where they roost over winter. We invite you to participate in a growing international network of people and communities along the monarch flyway using tags provided by Monarch Watch and data from Journey North.
We encourage members to take, save, share photos and videos of tagged monarch butterflies, especially if you had role in it's survival, and share this story on our Wings Without Borders public Facebook group.
