After counting monarchs, Spike Jackson (right) and Rachel Williams (center) with two volunteers stand on a rock that overlooks Saline Valley. The overlook has spiritual value to the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe. Inspired by a chance to visit the home of his ancestors and see the butterflies adorning his family’s handwoven basket, Jackson and his family volunteered to monitor monarchs as part of the second annual Saline Valley Monarch Count.
