Each year thousands of vibrant orange and black Monarch Butterflies flock, seeking shelter from the freezing northern winters.
Spectators come from all over the Central Coast and throughout the state to view the Monarchs.
The butterflies form dense clusters with each one hanging with its wing down over the one below it to form a shingle effect. This provides shelter from the rain and warmth for the group.
The weight of the cluster help keeps it from whipping in the wind and dislodging the butterflies.
Visitors are greeted by knowledgeable and well-informed volunteer docents offering daily talks and information.
