WHITTIER, SO. CAL., MIGRATION SITE??

[tzimmer]

I LIVE IN SO. CAL. I AM LOOKING FOR A LOCAL MONARCH MIGRATION SITE CLOSER THAN PISMO BEACH. I AM IN WHITTIER CA. 90601. MY SON LOVES BUTTERFLIES.

Huntington Beach's Central Park is one of the Monarch's overwintering sites. Nearby is another little park called Norma Gibbs Park in Huntington Beach. It is actually a very cute little Monarch sanctuary!

Santa Barbara county has several locations where Monarchs overwinter as well.

There is supposedly a spot in Costa Mesa where Monarchs will overwinter yet I've not seen any there.

There are supposedly some Eucalyptus trees along the McDonnel-Douglas/Boeing (or whatever the place is called now!) in Huntington Beach/Westminster where Monarchs also 'hang out.'

The Fullerton Arboretum tends to have Monarchs fluttering about all year long.

Good luck!

Here is the eucalyptus grove in Costa Mesa, Calif. you should check for clustering monarchs.
