Dear Friends,
Just as expected, mid December marks the first great concentration of monarchs at their overwintering spots.

Las Monarcas migrantes parecen haber completado su llegada a sus bosques de Oyameles de hibernación.
Ambos santuarios, “Sierra Chincua” y “El Rosario” -los más altos y con las colonias más grandes-, muestran contraste en su comportamiento.
La colonia de “Sierra Chincua” continúa en el sitio “El Zacatonal” mostrándose viva y densa como la semana anterior.
Dear friends,
Monarchs migrating to their overwintering Oyamel forests seem to have mostly completed their arrival. The colonies in in Sierra Chincu and El Rosario sanctuaries have formed in the highest in elevations and are the largest but behaviors are different.

Queridos amigos,
La milagrosa llegada aumenta en número!
Sin embargo, las temperaturas que se mantienen aumentando consecutivamente durante los años recientes se convierten en una preocupación mayor. Este otoño que se presenta aún más cálido es algo que no podemos reconocer.

Dear friends,
It is miraculous to witness. The number of monarchs arriving rises every day!
Of concern, daytime temperatures are also rising. It appears that this fall will be warmer than we remember from previous years.
