There’s a place near Monterey, California where these beauties stop on their annual migration. It’s quite a sight when they gather there. I think they’re on their way to Mexico or Central America.
There are a lot of really interesting legends and stories about them… fascinating creatures!

Thanks for visiting tonight.
