We have thousands and thousands throughout the city right now! For more than an hour they have been streaming in a brisk wind from north to south, right over our motel room. More than I can count in a framed area. Kamakaza pigeons and other birds flying out to try to grab one, not with any visible success, they are attacking in masses of 50 to more, redirecting the flow, but still not catching the Monarchs. They are still coming and now I am see smaller birds trying to attack, now with any apparent success. It must be over 500 a minute, maybe more. I am looking from the room door as my frame and I can't count that fast. Sometimes they reduce for a few seconds and
then rebound with even more! (Written at 10 am.)
