Report Winter Monarch sightings

The public is encouraged to report monarch sightings from Dec. 1-March 1.

Last winter, volunteers from across the Southeast and Gulf states provided more than 5,800 observations of monarch butterflies. This winter, the partnership of universities, agencies and other organizations called Monarchs Overwintering in Southeastern States is requesting the public’s continued involvement in reporting sightings.

Observations are entered in Journey North’s online data portal, where they are transformed into real-time mapping visualizations of monarch migration and breeding. Journey North is an organization designed to engage people across North America in tracking wildlife migration and seasonal change.

For more details on how to participate, read the full Press Release from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

The attached infographic provides details of what observations (adult monarchs, monarch eggs and larvae, and milkweed) can be reported on Journey North this winter.
