I have similarly seen great hordes of monarch butterflies in
Bustamante Canyon. They are sometimes so thick that one can hold a
hand out of the car window and catch them just cruising to the
spring. At night they roost on the tree branches along the stream in
thick bunches. That area must be on their main migration
route. It's a pretty cool sight.
