American Robins are ubiquitous. During late summer into the early fall and winter, we start to get a trickle of questions: Where are the robins? A great question with a fascinating answer.

Milkweeds are the host plant for monarch caterpillars, making them essential for healthy monarch populations. This fall, Madison Audubon and in particular our staff at Goose Pond Sanctuary have established a goal for volunteers to collect 100 pounds of pure, live milkweed seed for the butterflies, and we need your help!
The primary focus is on common, butterfly, whorled, and swamp (red) milkweed seeds.
