Here is my typical 2 mile walk to observed and tag monarchs on a fall day:

Harrisville State Park at the rail road crossing near entrance: 21
Park Campgrounds: 3
Beach: 1
End of 2/3rd Streets: 1
Through town: 9
Health Department Ponds: 3
Harrisville Harbor: 55
My backyard garden: 9
Total for day 08/23/18: 102

Weather was 100% sunshine with the wind SW-16 mph and the temperature 82F. I usually start at 12:30 PM and end at 3:30 PM. A record for August of 1,118 monarchs have been counted by me the last two days after a heavy all day rain on August 21. The all time record was 1,129 monarchs counted September 27-28, 2017. Records have been kept since 2010.
