In a 15 minute period 2 monarchs were sighted in our outdoor classroom area. We observed starting at 10:29 am. It is a warm sunny day here in Wichita, Kansas. Lastweek we spotted 8 at this same time of day, but in only a 7 minute period.

10/3/07    Kingfisher, OK ( N, W)
Hundreds of Monarchs moved across central Oklahoma today. I saw at least 10 per minute from about 9 a.m. to 12 noon. The numbers dropped off after that. Some flew lower, and stopped to nectar in the yard for a while, and were gone. But, there was still a steady trickle of them coming until 6:00 p.m.

10/1/07    Ponca City, OK (36 N, -97 W)
I got a call this morning from a good friend who said they counted just over a thousand monarchs in just 30 minutes. They were 5-7 miles south of Ponca City driving around on country roads. They were driving in the wide open spaces. The butterflies were low to the ground, mid-level, and many were quite elevated as well!

09/30/107 Canton Lake, OK (36 N, -99 W)
I just received an ecstatic phone call from my in-laws who are at Canton Lake in Oklahoma. They said it had been quiet with no Monarch sightings Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning but now..... at 2:15 pm Sunday afternoon, an explosion of Monarchs are flying over the lake. A cool front has come through and with it, more Monarchs than they've seen so far. A steady stream flying directly over the lake, hundreds at a time, coming through in waves.

09/29/107 Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, VA (37 N, -75 W)
Spectacular migration day! Approximately 4,500 Monarchs were flying southwest along ocean shore from 10AM to Noon. Most were flying low < 10 feet off the ground and fighting the wind to avoid being blown out over the ocean. At over wash areas - where there is no dune or vegetation to provide any protection from the wind - about one out of three were being swept out over the ocean. Some were able to make it back to shore with great effort.

Noticed lots, probably a hundred in an hour, of Monarchs moving across the school property yesterday (9/28). All of them moving in the same direction, south.

09/30/107 Asheville, NC (36 N, -82 W)
Counted 210 Monarch's in 1 hour on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, NC. Once over the tree line from the north, they floated lazily down the valley traveling south toward South Carolina. A few stopped to nectar on Milkweek and Golden Rod.
