Monarch Discovery

Google Doodles— the graphics atop Google’s splash page that change every day—are sometimes worth taking the time to consider. Such was the case with the 9 January 2016 Google Doodle.

The Doodle acknowledges the “41st Anniversary of the Discovery of the Mountain of the Butterflies”

The mountain in Mexico where the monarchs “overwinter” is the sometime-theme of Barbara Kingsolver’s wonderful novel, Flight Behavior.
