More than 40 sighted in 15 minutes!
It was around 2:30 in the afternoon - kind of overcast day. There were so many in a brief span of time that I decided to start counting. over 40 in 15 minutes. Butterflies were just flying by -a few stopped and were nectaring at my front flower garden where i have hyssop plants but most were just floating on by. The wind was about 6 mph out of the Northeast. I live directly on the coast of Lake Michigan so we often see them transiting this time of year.
Certainly were a lot yesterday (9/4). More today (9/5) but not as noticeable or numerous as yesterday.
