Large number of monarchs nectering on the Mexican sunflowers (torch tihonias) in my back yard over the last 4 days. On the 17th I noted several rising up over the tree tops after feeding and moving south with the cold front that moved through in the early afternoon. They were quickly replaced by more butterflies. The phenomenon lasted through out the afternoon and into early evening.

There were more Monarchs around on this one day than I've seen for 3 years combined!!!!
