Sunday morning, despite intermittent light rain, the Monarchs again moved through my neighborhood (31st & 217th E. Ave). Around 8am I stood in the light rain and counted 50 in about three minutes. The numbers remained heavy for about 45 minutes. A few stopped by to nectar, but most were flying higher, well-above the treetops, headed south.

Movement stopped during the 2 hour heavier rains, around 10am. Following the rain, monarchs resumed moving, although in much, much smaller numbers. Although I had a few in the yard all day, there was little migration after 1:o0. I did "sky checks" hourly, and saw no more migrants.
