Letter from Gail Morris: Western Monarch Spring 2022 Report #11

In the Western U.S., migration is slowing as more monarchs arrive to breeding grounds and settle in for the summer. Gail Morris writes, "First sightings of monarchs are now reported across the western states as far north as Oregon and Idaho to the delight of observers who missed their flight the last two years. Meanwhile monarchs are now appearing in the higher elevations in Arizona as well as in California, Utah and New Mexico. Northern movement will cease soon as monarchs multiply in their summer breeding grounds around the West."
