Monarch PEAK Migration
Sightings report image

Date: 09/22/2018

Number: 200

Took a drive out to the Flint Hills in Eastern Kansas. Full sun temp was 60, with very light ESE winds, low humidity.

While I posted 200 as my number this was based on my best guess but I truly believe the numbers were much higher.

We stopped in Manhattan KS where we observed 2-3 flying along then another 4-5 would glide by. This repetitive continued .

We are in the 7-10 window of our peak yearly migration which is typically September 17-27. Last night we got down in the upper 40’s.

Plenty of food sources today. Cone flowers, mums, golden rod and there are still sunflowers still in bloom in some places.
