71.5dF
10:15 a. m.
broken overcast, breeze from the east to ESE 5-10 mph
continuous streams of monarchs just above tree height or lower (15-20' agl)
They are dropping into every wind shadow, then popping back up into the
breeze to continue SSW.
I did 5 five minute counts with no intervals:
1 10 monarchs
2 10 monarchs
3 7 "
4 12 "
5 11 "
This would give us 600 monarchs passing over just one plot 50' x 50' in an
hour's time. Not what I could call a stream or river, but a definite movement or flow.
