The day was cool in the low 50s and partly cloudy with a mild breeze. The sun was breaking through the clouds on occasion. Monarchs were landing on the sunflowers and opening their wings apparently to warm up. This same scene was repeated again and again. During two hours of observation, 85 monarchs were counted--somewhat surprising given the past couple of days of low numbers.
