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.
