Monarch Migration 2011

Monarch butterflies will soon start their 2,000 mile annual migration from Canada to Mexico. They feed and roost by the hundreds on our very own Milwaukee County Grounds before they head for their winter roosting site. Best time to visit and witness the roosts is around sunset from about 10 days before and after Labor Day. Many butterflies can be seen feeding from sunrise to sunset. Bring Your Camera!
