Number: 250

I have been watching the monarchs off and on all day. They have been active and flying up into the air whenever I walk by. The wind was light and breezy from the southwest for most of the day, becoming calm and from the west in the evening. It was another lovely late summer day, a mixture of sun and clouds with temperatures topping out at 80 degrees. As evening came the butterflies began gathering in small clusters throughout the pines. Flashing their wings in welcome as more came to join them. We are surrounded on three sides by the pines and a large field of red clover. We have planted different types of milkweed as well as flowers that provide nectar to feed them.
It is hard to count how many monarchs are present when they are flying everywhere. So, my conservative estimate is 250, although I sincerely believe there were more.
