Saw 200 fly by in 4 minutes, then the flow slowed down a bit. Most were flying high, slightly difficult to see with the naked eye. I suspect plenty were flying higher than I could see.
We had south winds for the last week. In the last hour, Winds here in Stillwater, OK changed from easterly to northerly (according to OK Mesonet website), so I went outside and saw at least 200 monarchs fly by in 4 minutes. Most of what I saw were flying high. However, counties just to our south still have southerly winds, so I expect lots of monarchs might be coming down out of the clouds soon and landing on flowers in Logan, Lincoln, Creek and Tulsa Counties.
