Number: 300

Wow, when peak migration is actually happening there's no mistaking it. 300 is a representative guesstimate, there were many more than that over the continuous span of time. At about 4 pm on Thursday October 4, I realized that monarch after monarch was flying from north to south directly over our house and neighborhood at varying elevations. Two neighbors were outside, I told them to look up. We stood transfixed for several minutes. One of the neighbors said she'd heard that monarch butterflies were flying over Lake Hefner. As you can see from the map, our neighborhood is due south of the lake. Turns out that there's also at least one roost in the greenbelt just south of S. Lake Hefner Drive (not to be confused with Hefner Rd )
