This Week's Update Includes:

• Evaluation: Please share your thoughts!
  

How Far They've Come
Use Google maps to estimate how far the migration has advanced from its origin in Mexico. For example:

• The northernmost sighting in Battleford, SK is 2,800 miles from Angangueo, Mexico.
• The northeasternmost in Old Town, ME means the migration has advanced 3,100 miles northeast.

Drought Diminishing
The Midwest's rainy spring may be good news for the monarchs. Traditionally, half of the monarchs that migrate to Mexico originate in the U.S. Corn Belt; last summer's drought and excessive heat in that region were sited as a cause of last winter's small monarch population. The animated map illustrates the improvement from August 2012 to June 2013. Keep an eye on the drought monitor during this summer's breeding season.
