Number: 800

Many monarchs flying in a southwest direction. The peak numbers were around the lunch hour. On the average I would say I was easily seeing 25 every 5 minutes. I estimate the numbers I saw at 800.

The flight began around 9 a.m. It got real busy around 10-11. My time of observation was between 9 and 3:30. By 3:30, the numbers had diminished. The area I was working in was along the Missouri river. I'm working on the east side of St. Joseph, in the close proximity of the Little Platte river. I'm not seeing any activity here.
