I'd think that today could also be considered a Peak Monarch Migration sighting for this area. I counted 213 of the beauties just today. From 2-4:30 PM, I counted 208! They were heading south at a height ranging from 8-35 apx. They were riding the northerly breeze brought by the passing of a cold front which dropped temps by over 15 degrees during the day. I delighted in seeing one group of 4, one group of 3, and several groups of 2 during the peak time this afternoon. The remainder of them were flying solo. The temp. here was 64 F until it began warming up a bit after 4:30 PM. I'm glad I had the day off work to see this.
