Everybody's From Somewhere Else
It seems that climate changes are making increasingly tough winters for Monarch butterflies in Mexico. We have quite a few of the colorful critters who winter in coastal California, just south of our area in Pacific Grove. A lot of them congregate in Eucalyptus trees. It seems fitting that brand new generations of Monarchs who come here to winter spend the season in trees that are not native to the state.
I guess a Native Californian of any species may be one of the rarest species of all.
