About 1.5 miles outside of Boyer Chute NWR entrance . South west side of a country rd. At approx 645pm we noticed hundreds (500 plus) of Monarchs flying in and settling in a small stand of Cottonwood trees. It was in a field full of Goldenrod and across the road was a field of Soybeans. We had to leave but they were still arriving as we left at approx. 715pm.
There were also hundreds in the fields at the refuge earlier in the day as well as one Monarch caterpillar we spotted on the ground. It didn't look too healthy & we moved it over to some Goldenrod.
