Number: 6000

Thousands upon thousands of monarchs were flying south westward (between 6-7pm) continuously over head above my house which is situated on the shore of Lake Ontario in The Beach. The sky was full for the 2 hours I was sitting on my rooftop observing them. It was such an extraordinary sight and something I will never forget. What a treat. I was wishing them well on their travels south.

Editor’s Note: The observer reports ’thousands upon thousands’ and that ’the sky was full’ for an hour. To get some estimate of the number that passed, we will assume she saw 100 per minute X 60 minutes = 6,000 per hour.
