Number: 300

The wind was from the west for most of the day with temperatures in the upper 70's. Sunny, warm and dry. Since the monarchs first arrived, the farmer has mowed down the large field of blooming red clover surrounding our property, thus removing a main source of nectar.
It has been exceptionally dry here but I have been keeping the garden watered so there are good nectar sources growing there and also down in the drainage ditch where there is lots of goldenrod.
I conservatively estimate the monarchs present at 300. Walking under the trees causes them to fly all over the place. It's a beautiful thing to see but counting them is nearly impossible.
