Number: 100

We had a rainstorm Sunday night and then North winds brought a cool front. Monday and Tuesday we had only a couple of Monarchs flitting about our grove of walnut trees. Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock I checked and found 100 Monarchs. Unlike the previous cohort that flew South with the cool front, these butterflies were feeding on wildflowers and fluttering high in the trees. 100 butterflies would not qualify as peak migration in past years, so I will continue to monitor the trees. I did use all my 100 tags, though.
