Monarch migration activity was considerable in our butterfly garden on this afternoon. At least 100 monarchs came through in several hours. At one point, 35 monarchs were counted in a 10-minute span as they moved from north to south across the garden. Some were stopping for nectar on the flowers (goldenrod and phlox, for example), and others were resting for a time in the trees and on the flowers.
