Number: 100

from the south steady at 10 knots sunny and mild. Count for both days.

Monarchs 100+

All were feeding on Golden Rod.
I physically caught 100+ Monarchs and inspected for tags but found none. I
found perhaps 15 Monarchs that were broken the other were in good shape and
some looked freshly hatched. I wish I had gotten some tags from someone as I
have never tagged any Monarch. There were at least 100 that sailed thru the
golden rod and never landed I did not see any tags on those either but some I
could not get close enough to to see. I honestly did not expect to find so many
as it has been more than 20 years since I have tried to find any but luck was
with me.
