I have been interested in the Monarch Migration this fall and I have been counting monarchs on my walks through our butterfly meadow at the park. We seem to have a several around, but nothing like some of the other butterfly watchers have reported in other parts of the country: "Hundreds passing by in an hour, or nesting in a tree at night"...

The Journey North migration site http://www.learner.org/jnorth/monarch/fall2006/Update092206.... has lots of good info, and so does Monarch Watch http://www.monarchwatch.org/tagmig/fallmap.htm about the migration patterns

...but I am wondering if any DG butterfly watchers have seen large 'flocks' of monarchs passing through or roosting in their neighborhoods this fall?

I notice the Monarch Research websites are asking for everyone to report what they are seeing and to keep a notebook--I don't do that, but does anyone else?
