Keep your eyes peeled for turtle hatchlings over the next few weeks! We are in the midst of the peak several weeks of the year when hatchlings of most turtles emerge from their underground nests and make their way to nearby wetlands (aside from box turtles which are largely terrestrial).
Weekly Wildlife Wonderment:
Monarch Butterfly Migration Map
Come back weekly to check-in on where Monarch Butterflies are on their migration southward.
We will update this map every Monday until they reach their overwintering locations, likely around early-November.
These maps were made using iNaturalist observations…thanks to all that contribute observations of this and so many other animals and plants!!
Our mission is to educate, inspire, and empower people to take simple actions to support and sustain wildlife.
Curious for more? We update our content regularly so keep coming back to keep learning more.
