I've been seeing 1-3 Monarchs at a time for the past few weeks, but today they're all over my yard. I counted 7 in one spot of my yard, and got a glimpse of an 8th flying around some bushes away from the other 7. I't possible there are more than 8 in my yard because I have quite a large yard and have Butterfly Bushes both in my front and back yards; I have a LOT of Butterfly Bushes, probably 50-75 or more plants around my home. Those Butterfly bushes are slowing down, but they still have some full, fresh flower heads on them. I think that's why the Monarchs are in my yard, because in walking around my neighborhood, I've seen very few blooming flowers around, and all of the butterflies (I have a bunch of Cabbage Whites in my yard today too) seem to have found the blooms in my yard.
