Today was a glorious day for Monarchs in Kansas. I went for a walk at Heritage Park in Overland Park, thinking I might see a few. I saw 4 on my 20 minute drive there, 55 while at the park, and 15 on my way home. Most of them were single Monarchs nectaring on wild sunflowers, daisies, thistles, or the other wildflowers at the park. I did see a large grouping of Monarchs nectaring on aster (see photo). The time I spent on my walk at Heritage Park was 84 minutes. This is the first day I've seen more than 3 Monarchs at a time, so I think Peak Migration has started in eastern Kansas!
