Autumn Winds: Encounters with a World in Transition by Craig Newberger


Monarch butterflies, each weighing less than one gram, can fly as far as three thousand miles. Energized by the sun, they fly during the day following the same mountain ridges and air currents as migrating birds. As they journey south, they rely on nectar from asters and goldenrods to fuel their journey to mountains in Mexico they’ve never seen before. To find out how their destination was discovered, check out my newly released book, Autumn Winds: Encounters with a World in Transition. Available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
