Yesterday on 9-19-09, noticed one single Monarch about 2 blocks from my house. Today, 9-20-09 about 2:30 p.m. we saw a swarm of Monarch butterflies in the backyard trees in a neighborhood about 1/2 mile from my house. About 5:00 p.m. today in my own backyard, there were dozens of Monarchs flying toward the sprinklers that were on. They were roosting in trees near the sprinklers and then would fly back to another area where there are cedars. This was for about a half hour while I was outside with our new puppy.

Editor’s Note: We are estimating a minimum of 24 monarchs based on observer’s comment about “dozens of monarchs.”
