In 30 minutes, I counted 105 monarch butterflies at Hagerman National Wildlife refuge around mid day; monarchs tended to be near the buttonbush; Weather today was clear, sunny, pleasant and mild; there was a cold front front that came thru North Texas late on Friday 10/9 and brought in light breezes from the north Fri and into the evening on Fri; And so today (Sat) there were abundant monarchs spotted in a short time frame, but I think the peak migration in the north Texas area was likely the previous weekend, since I saw fewer monarchs today than I did last Sunday at Hagerman NWR (same observation site).
