Number: 335

I had my best Monarch day of the year. I was surprised because I thought Migration was nearly over here. I had a very conservative count of 335 along the Mariners Trail, most of which were nectaring on New England Asters. I say conservative because I didn't want to disturb them and only counted the ones I could see nectaring or those that passed by me heading south. In the fall, I always start from the south and work my way north. After I finished looking at the major nectar sources I stood in one spot and counted the Monarchs that migrated between me and Lake Michigan. In 10 minutes I counted 26 Monarchs (4:11pm start) that flew by.
