Number: 256

The second wave of migrating monarchs arrived, with more numbers. There were probably more than 256, just hard to count. The day was overcast in the morning, clearing in the afternoon, with calm to 5 mph. winds. We were out at 4-5 p.m. and again at 6:30 p.m. The monarchs were nectaring heavily on goldenrod and some sunflowers. Many flowers had 2 or 3 monarchs on them at a time. Temperature was about 70 degrees. The mosquitoes drove us in, despite using mosquito netting and copious quanities of DEET!
