Default Monarch Butterfly Ritual Migration

I was privileged to visit the Monarch Butterfly Grove in Pismo Beach this weekend. What a treat to see all these butterflies. Please click the link above for more information. I will post more later this week. I hope you like them and thanks for looking.

outstanding Fred .. I've seen them leave us, but where to? I understand ours head over the gulf and winter in central Mexico .. I guess yours take a totally separate route .. gotta love wildlife, they knew how to do this a millennium before we woke up ..
