Number: 70

My brother reported watching monarchs stream past overhead this evening after the wind changed to the north, 30+ mph. He counted roughly 70 in this photo with a better resolution than what he could email. A large thunderhead billowed in the east. He counted roughly one a second...some low, some high enough they disappeared against the cloud.

Editor's note: contacted observer for more details on this sighting

Migrating monarchs in a 30 mile an hour tailwind in front of a billowing thunderhead a few days ago. You have to zoom in and enlarge it to see the smudges that are all monarchs!
