Monarchs Are on the Move!

Late August through early October is a wonderful time to keep your eyes peeled for one of the Midwest’s most recognizable butterflies—the monarch!

Each fall, millions of monarchs begin their incredible journey south, traveling through the United States toward their wintering grounds in Mexico. Along the way, they stop to fuel up on nectar from flowers and may pass through our parks and backyards.

After several challenging years for monarchs, recent reports are offering some encouraging signs of improvement. That means we may have an especially exciting migration season ahead!

Keep your eyes to the sky and your gardens blooming—you never know when a monarch might flutter by!

Fall Color Is Already Beginning!

Have you noticed it? The changing of the seasons has already begun! While peak fall color in Miami County Parks typically arrives in mid-to-late October, some trees, including buckeyes and tupelos, begin showing their yellow and red leaves as early as August.

What makes great fall color? Sunny days, cool nights and adequate moisture help create those brilliant reds, oranges, yellows and golds we love. Too much heat, rain or drought can lead to less vibrant color.

Keep your eyes open—fall is on its way! Have you spotted any changing leaves in the parks yet?
