Chasing Monarchs: Migrating With the Butterflies of Passage

Chasing Monarchs by Robert Pyle is a captivating journey that follows the annual mass migration of monarch butterflies from their breeding grounds in British Columbia to their winter home in Mexico.

Join Pyle on his long and loosely conceived experiment as he takes readers along dirt roads, forest paths, cliffs, and milkweed-lined meadows to follow his quest for the elusive monarch butterfly.

With plain elegance, Pyle describes his method of tracking the butterflies: "I'll find a monarch.

I will watch it.

If it flies, I'll follow it as far as I can.

When I lose it, I'll take its vanishing bearing--the direction in which it disappears.

Then I will quarter the countryside, by foot and by road, until I find the next suitable habitat along that bearing." This book is a must-read for anyone interested in nature, travel, or simply experiencing the beauty of the natural world.
