Yesterday (10/6) we did a tour just before sunset. Not so many as earlier in the day, but still actively feeding on iatris. Still no obvious directional flight.

Checked today (10/07) before sunset. Checked a limited area. Density there was greater than yesterday morning. Monarchs "stuck" to liatris with no sign of moving off to roost. With only a limited sample area I didn't ratio up to a total based on area. If the density held elsewhere it could be hundreds.

Since wind has been northeast and never from south for several days, it's possible that Monarchs are moving through continuously. Today's sightings are not yesterday's and yesterday's are not from the day before.
