They were coming in big and small bands like snow flurries. There were literally thousands of them. It was hard to miss them when were were driving, they were like snow flurries just coming out of nowhere, it was magical.

I am still watching them flutter across my place today (October 7th). We have wild yellow daisies on our place and they have been stopping to eat, we see them all day, every few minutes they come through, my husband even got excited about how many there were.

We have just moved to this area from Parker County Texas we got them there as well, so I was thrilled to see we are still on their migration path. I have watched them for years. When we lived in Parker County we were on their migration route. They used to stop on the edge of our timber and would roost, that was back in the 80s and they had stopped doing that several years ago, though they would still come through. I believe it just got too built up around us so they didn't stop anymore and went straight on.
