I was wondering if I just never noticed it before, or it was some sign of the apocalypse or something.

By my calculations, they were coming at a pace of about 500 per hour, and were probably twice that the other day!

In the 6 minutes I counted I also saw 3 Monarchs and either an Eastern Question Mark or Eastern Comma.

Sunday night I had about 100 of them swirling in little groups in my yard. It was the coolest thing when a few landed on me!
