Number: 350

On Thursday, Sept. 28, in just a few areas of lush flowers in Manhattan’s Central, & Riverside (including river-edge areas) Parks, and in under 2 hours in total, at least 350 Monarchs were seen, a good many of these apparently moving - migrating, most evident on the Hudson river promenade areas in Riverside Park, where (at a mid-afternoon hour) approximately 200 Monarchs were seen flying S/SW in just 1 hour, on strong winds from the north (& after a long period of hot days, but with little obvious movement of migratory Monarchs on east or near-calm winds). Also seen were a fair number of Painted Ladys in sites with nectar flowers.
