migratory Monarch butterflies. Each year they make a staggering 2,500
mile journey from Canada and Northern USA to the highlands of Mexico to
hibernate and then breed. What is even more astonishing is that, since
each butterfly lives only for a few months, it is their offspring who
complete the journey cycle, returning to exactly the same place each year. |

carpeted with millions of hibernating butterflies. |

| Hummingbirds are also common around here. We were
lucky to get this photo - they move faster than you can follow. |
