Description
Monarch butterflies migrating to Mexico from as far as Canada stop to rest at Cleveland's Wendy Park.
Thousands of monarch butterflies made the shores of Lake Erie their temporary rest stop earlier this week before migrating south.
Naturalists who monitor the migration of birds and winged animals throughout the year said weather conditions played a big role in what they call a 'fallout'—a period when the presence of monarchs build up along the lakeshore over a span of several days.
When the monarchs depart from Canada, they use the lakefront to rest and refuel before making the long flights south to the Gulf Shores of Mexico, Central and South America.
Monarchs roost on the cottonwood trees after arriving from Canada.
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my work.
