Number: 185

I counted 185 monarchs in a little over an hour in an alfalfa field while tagging monarchs. Most had plump abdomens and were nectaring heavily. The goldenrod and sunflowers are done for the year, the asters are also nearly done, so the only food left for them is alfalfa and flower gardens. We also had several in our pollinator garden today. Temperatures were in the 70s, very humid, with wind from the south at about 10 miles per hour.
