Annual Monarch Butterfly Migration

[whoscloset]

The fall migration of the monarch butterfly has begun. Every year they gather in the park, overlooking Lake Huron, at the end of my street. There are literally THOUSANDS of them roosting in the trees each night. It is absolutely amazing to be able to witness this stunning part of nature each year.

Thought I'd share these pics I took last night.

Monique - thanks for posting those pix, they're fantastic! You are certainly fortunate to live in a spot where you get to witness this.

Judy,

It happens in mid to late August in Bingham Park up on the bluff.

I am not sure just where Bingham Park is, Monique, but if we get to Goderich this weekend we will have a look. We often drive along the streets that run along the top of the bluff. Great views!! (We also used to go on the tour of homes that they used to have on the same weekend as the craft show in the square.)

It's at the end of Bingham Street...which is actually a Court. Bingham runs of Warren St.
