Monarch Migration—The Magic of Nature

This week I watched a segment on Good Morning America: Monarch Migration in Jeopardy with Ginger Zee. I was awestruck by the amazing sight of hundreds of millions of monarchs gathered to winter in small areas of Central Mexico. It’s hard to comprehend how those insects reach that spot, having never been there before. Genetics? Magic? 

I taught Biology for seventeen years and regularly see magic in nature. Many times I do my most imaginative fantasy plotting while kayaking, hiking, or strolling along a beach. If I travel long enough, nature and magic fuse into one amazing collective.

Here is the video from that news segment, and another produced by National Geographic with some beautiful photography.

Do you see magic in nature? Please share your thoughts.
