ALL
monarch sightings go on this map. Some people report single monarchs, others report larger numbers. These reports are very important. They help us determine when the migration peaks.
Roosts
Monarchs rest at overnight roosts at the end of each migration day. This map shows where large gatherings of resting butterflies were seen!
Peak
Spectacular sightings--or the season's biggest wave of migration--are shown on this map. It shows when and where we think the migration was at its peak.
