Some monarchs on Oct. 5, then more on Oct. 6. Groups of 4-10 coming every few minutes. So beautiful! We were watching over a 4 hour period and estimate we saw 1,000 butterflies. I say "estimate" because we would get waves of about 10 at a time over our house but could see them in the distance, too.  We turned a sprinkler on and put it in the sun, they would fly through it and some landed under it.  We have not seen any since 2 pm (Oct. 6).   Hopefully there will be more tomorrow morning.  It's amazing that we are in their flight path.
