The monarch migration begins in late summer. Monarchs east of the Rockies migrate to the Oyamel fir trees of Mexico. Monarchs west of the Rockies migrate to southern California to the eucalyptus trees of Pacific Grove and surrounding areas.
This guy is on his way to Mexico.

cool shot. nice and sharp. we get one of these in Ga every once in awhile.
Thanks Steve. They’re pretty common around here.
Nice shot, Frank. Have you read “Four Wings and a Prayer” by Sue Halperin. Pretty neat read regarding the migration.
I have not read it, but will check it out. Thanks for the tip.
