The Monarch butterflies have arrived…by the thousands!
According to an article in the Press ofAtlantic City, the butterflies migrate from as far north as Canada, and will eventually winter in Mexico.
Two popular stop over locations- Cape MayPoint and Stone Harbor Point (the butterflies are attracted to the goldenrod in the dunes).
If you will be on the island this weekend, take a few minutes to walk along the clam shell path south of the 123rd Street parking lot. It’s an impressive sight!
