There was a whole movement of migrating Monarchs that were being pushed south ahead of a cold front in Oklahoma City. It was about 6:30 when the butterflies and cold front were passing through. I watched for about 30 minutes, which is when the flow of butterflies was slowing down. I’d say there were about 10 to 15 butterflies passing through about every minute for about 15 minutes and then it slowed down. (15 minutes X 15 monarchs/minute = 225 monarchs.) There were some that were pretty high, so it might have been more. And I have some pictures and a video, but it’s not the best as I was trying to keep up with butterflies.
