Thousands of monarch butterflies will be on the move soon, heading for winter homes in Mexico. National Wildlife Refuges are excellent places to see these brilliant travelers pass by. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages the 97-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System, which encompasses 548 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands and other special management areas.
