If you live in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida as well as Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, Journey North has a special invitation for you. Not all monarchs migrate to Mexico. Some breed throughout the winter in the southern U.S., and scattered reports show that other monarchs might overwinter here in the U.S. in a non-reproductive state. Researchers and others studying monarchs seek your help to understand this phenomenon.

Dear fellow flock of birders,

Birding is still pretty quiet these days in the Arb. I feel lucky to be able to find 20 different species. Today an overcast sky kept the Arb in subdued light. Shortly after I arrived I saw a Cooper's Hawk fly low over Curtis Prairie and land in a tree over by the pump house. They are often out and about early in the morning looking for something to eat or playing tag with the American Crows.

Dear fellow flock of birders,

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Ours was quiet but we still ate well. The quietness gave us time to think about all the things we were thankful for. I still went birding on Thanksgiving. I hope you all were able to take a walk and maybe do some birding on Thanksgiving too.

Dear fellow flock of birders,

Before I forget it I want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving! It won't be our usual Thanksgiving when we gather with our family to share a fabulous meal but instead we will be staying home and not risking our health. We will celebrate with our family and relatives when it becomes safe to do so. I hope all of you will be safe and stay healthy too.
