Monarch PEAK Migration

Number: 60

Chisholm Creek Park, Wichita, KS
A cold front came thru last night bringing a low of about 60 degrees this morning. Light rain and moderate north winds until about 1PM and then the winds died down and it was mostly cloudy. From approx. 2:30 pm until about 4:30 pm I saw 60 or more adults. Most were flying just below the tree tops in very small groups. A group of 10 or more were resting in a large Cottonwood tree. Of the 60 or so perhaps 10 were nectaring on Goldenrod or Maximillian Sunflower. Will check for roosts in the morning.
Forgot to take a photo.
