Sightings report image

Date: 10/17/2019

Number: 40

Saw 40 in a few hours' time. Most I've seen of any day this year. (Second most was 10/12,the day after a 29-degree night, when I saw 15-20.) Saw half of them driving around town, the other half lying in my backyard. In the backyard, I was seeing about one flying over every 4 minutes.
Most flying south, a few flying southwest. Maybe one in 7 stopped to nectar in my garden, but only for a minute or two.
(I have cosmos, zinnias, asters, mistflower.)
My observations aren't timed/scientific, but this is definitely the strongest migration day so far here.
Low of 36F last night, high of 69 today. Sunny, light breeze.
