John Martin Reservoir State Park; sunshine, 64F, noon. I drove here after park employees told of thousands of monarchs in nearby Wiley. Local news stories and videos support that estimate. By today, the butterflies had moved on but there were still plenty of stragglers. I counted 18 in less than an hour of walking along the park road. Butterflies were nectaring on rabbit brush and sunflowers. In addition to Monarchs, I saw Common buckeyes, Sulphurs, Queens, and many Painted ladies.
