Number: 200
The Monarchs were feeding heavily on Blazing star this morning and I would say the estimate of 200 is conservative. Hard to capture at all on a photo what I was seeing with my eyes. Easily 75 or 80 feeding Monarchs in a 100 foot circle. I believe it is Torrey's rush and not a sedge that the Monarchs have been roosting on overnight. We are forecast to be warm this week and I think our Monarchs will stick around for a bit longer.
