Headed to Mexico, Monarch butterfly migration
Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina
On Friday, 9/27, we took a trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway hoping to catch monarch butterflies making their way southward. During a 4 hour period we were fortunate to see more than 200 at various locations along the Parkway. It was simply glorious! From the reports that I have read, the monarchs have had a great season this year. Fingers crossed that they have a successful journey to Mexico along with a mild winter before embarking on their northward flight next spring.
