Counting Monarchs
When you watch migrating monarchs, find ways to quantify (count or measure) what you're seeing. For example, tell us how many monarchs you count per minute — or how your observation compares to what you saw yesterday, last week, or last year.

"One hundred monarchs were feeding on a large planting of flowering Joe Pye Weed in the town garden. (The observation time was 1 hour.) This was the largest group we have observed in three years."
