Number: 50

Way more than 50, I did not count. There was a steady stream of monarchs nectaring on a flower bed full of Verbena bonairiensis, dahlias, russian sage and others, at Bridge View Park. Sunny, in the 60s, with low wind. They came and went. I was tagging for Monarch Watch and applied 21 tags. Oddly, most of them were males. I saw (and tagged) very few females. A local person there told me someone had counted over 600 monarchs crossing the Straits of Mackinaw that morning.
