Storms battered the California coast this past week and temperatures plunged. Monarchs are actively breeding on sunny days and many are still basking in the safety of groves along the California coast rather than leaving the region. Where are the monarchs? Monarchs were reported along the coast from Oakland to Oceanside and also in the Palm Springs area. There was one reported in Las Vegas recently.
Oddly, monarchs settled at the same spot since their arrival this past fall until now. Their departure appears to be imminent. This past week, we witnessed their first main movement. Visitors are lucky to watch this unusual monarch activity.
Las Monarcas se han asentado extrañamente en un mismo sitio desde su llegada hasta su inminente partida ahora. Ha sido hasta la semana pasada, que hemos atestiguado el primer importante movimiento de cuya impresionante actividad, un interminable número de visitantes ha experimentado imágenes inolvidables de este milagro de la naturaleza.
