Michael Friedman > Monarch Cluster: Every winter, hundreds of thousands of Monarch butterfiles winter in a small Eucalyptus grove just outside of Santa Barbara. The dim light usually makes them difficult to photograph. They enjoy each other's company, and often they will cluster on a single branch, hanging there in bunches by the hundreds.
Michael Friedman > Monarch Cluster 2: Climate change and steady deterioration of habitat has been shrinking the size of the Monarch migrations year by year. At the present rate of decline, these beautiful creatures may become extinct within a couple of decades.
Michael Friedman > Monarch Cluster 3: People in the area who've been here for decades tell me that, in sheer numbers, the Monarchs have decreased to about 20% of their former numbers.
