Hundreds of Monarchs moved across central Okla. today. A perfect day for moving, as at 9 a.m. This morning temp was 64 degrees, winds were from the ENE at 9 mph. They were flying lower initially, then would circle around, catch the wind current, and fly as high as my naked eyes could see. Even with binocs, they were like lil dots that dissappeared into the sky. I saw at least 10 per minute from about 9 a.m. to 12 noon. The numbers dropped off after that. Some flew lower, and stopped to nectar in the yard for a while, and were gone. But, there was still a steady trickle of them coming until 6:00 p.m. The winds from the south pick up for the next 3 days. The next front is Sunday.
