We are seeing our best migration in several years. We have data from the last 10 years.

September 14
Monarchs were migrating past our lake front campus at the rate of over 1,000 per hour from around 9:00 AM until around 4:00PM. I would estimate 7-10,000 for the day.

I was out today and we have a major monarch movement again. We are on the western most shore of Lake Michigan and when the wind is form the northwest the monarchs funnel down along the shoreline to avoid being blown out over the lake. I had a botany class out this morning to study prairie plants but counted around 20 migrating monarchs in less than a minute.

Thousands of monarchs migrated past our lakefront Campus today. My observation time: I was watching for _0__ hours and __15_ minutes. 343 monarchs passed our observation point in 15 minutes
