See this YouTube link for a look at the day in the garden .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8IcO-xlSHw

Overnight low of 58 F and cloudy in the early AM ... sun peeking out over the rest of the day and warming into the upper 60's / low 70's with light southerly breeze. Some light morning rain.

Biggest single day with activity seen / recorded since this effort began (my piece of it) in 2013 .... my "Instantaneous Count" of 75 ... being the best estimate of the number of Monarchs nectaring at the same time on the 35' by 35' garden with zinnia on three sides (double rows) of any counts ever completed on this garden space.
