| Comments | While driving along Highway 227 from Sonora to San Angelo (67 miles) I began to count the numerous monarchs crossing my path. I was up to 68 when about 15 south miles of San Angelo we encountered a virtual storm of butterflies. They were coming so fast and furious, I couldn't count them all. I estimated 200 or 300. The encounter lasted about 2 miles and then the numbers thinned down again. I continued to observe sporatic numbers for the rest of the day, all the way to Abilene and then along Interstate 20 back to Midland. |
