We have over 2000 adult monarchs in our butterfly garden. Most are on milkweed. We have set up an almost 4-acre garden devoted to butterflies. It has 1/2 miles trail through it. Many plants have 100 butterflies on them. The bigger concentrations are early morning. We are having beautiful fall weather with temperature’s in the 70’s. This is just one small portion of the garden. Here is a video by Mike Hayes who does the garden. It shows just a small portion of the garden.



As of October 10th they are still here.   We lost some with the last cold front (10/8).   We still have hundreds to view.  They are staying here early in the morning and late in the evening.   We have around a thousand milkweed and nectar plants  for them.     In the last two years we have spent a half million dollars dedicated to butterflies, hummingbirds and  other bird species.   We have just finished an eagle platform to feed the many eagles that roost here.
