Minnesota to Mexico

These folks are excited about monarch butterflies. Catch the fever at:
http://www.monarchwatch.org/
The program Monarch Watch was established by researchers at the Univ. of Kansas as an educational outreach program. Every fall, monarchs are tagged in Lawrence, and their migration routes and life history are tracked by watchers all over the southern U.S. and Mexico. On their website, you can check out where (usually in Mexico) the butterflies end their long journey. In the spring, they migrate north from Mexico to northern reaches of the United States.

If you live in the Lawrence area, the open house is not to be missed.
