A huge migration day, and started early. I saw several come through our yard around 7:30 and it peaked around 8:00 when I counted 87 migrating monarchs in 15 minutes. Most were up at 20-50 feet high (I used 10x50 binoculars), but many were down low, too. I think the big group came from a common roost. Temp. was about 75 in the morning and reached 90 by afternoon. Light winds.
