They're still flying over Louisville. I just went out and counted around 50 in
a short time.

Yesterday I noticed large numbers moving through town here in Wilmore. When I
got home I checked my flower patch in my backyard and it was packed with
Monarchs. I was going to get picture but was late for a meeting.
I will try to look more this afternoon.

I can add this is no exaggeration. It's quite easy to get 5-10 in one
binocular field over Louisville right now.

If you are able to, go outside right now with your binocs and scan the sky . .
. if other places at least in north-central KY are like our farm, there are
*hundreds* of Monarchs going over. I saw three "birds" in a flock a few minutes
ago and realized they were Monarchs. Then I started scanning overhead and there
are one's and twos and threes not visible to my naked eye but visible in
binocs! Others "thermaling up" like raptors getting higher into the sky.
We have the slightest northeast breeze at Louisville this morning and instead
of being down low they are all up high . . . and soo many!
