Thanks for the heads up Margret - they are beautiful. It may be a bit cool up north where I am now in Cazadero but will be on the lookout. Cheers,Joan Piesinger

Did you see this on Next Door?


Hi all! I am a researcher with Tufts University and am working on a community science project with Washington State University to monitor the migratory monarch butterfly population throughout California this spring, the Western Monarch Mystery Challenge. We are entering the third year of this project, and with just under 250,000 adults recorded at overwintering sites this year, are hoping for a great season of monarch sightings! Participation is simple - we just ask that if you see a monarch butterfly anytime between Valentine's Day (2/14) and Earth Day (4/22), please take a picture and either (1) send it to MonarchMystery@xxxxxxx with information on the date and location where the butterfly was observed, (2) submit your observation to iNaturalist, or (3) upload it to the Western Monarch Milkweed Mapper website. Participants will be entered to win a weekly prize. For more details, please visit: https://labs.wsu.edu/conservation-biology/western-monarch-mystery-challenge/ or find us on Facebook @monarchmystery Feel free to share this broadly, we are looking for submissions all across the West Coast north of Santa Barbara! Please reach out if you have any questions!
