I was traveling Highway 73 from Atchison through Leavenworth, Kansas on my way to to MCI airport today. Heading south I noticed a lot of monarchs following along the highway (note:the Missouri river kind of parallels the highway here).

Upon returning from the airport I pulled over on a dirt road and counted 60 to 70 monarchs passing through near Easton. At least 60 monarchs flew over our heads heading south towards Leavenworth within a 10 minute span. Many more followed in the same path. It continued for several hours. From MCI to Easton on my return drive I also counted at least 60 monarchs as I drove. It was amazing! Awesome!
