Mike, a report from Sonora, TX was just posted on Journey North
http://www.learner.org/cgi-bin/jnorth/jn-query-byday?1192654316
that confirms my earlier speculation that "vast, jaw dropping
hoards of fall migrants should be concentrated in the Ozona /
Sonora area now or area slightly south":

The Sonora observer wrote:

"Started seeing some Monarchs on Friday(10/12/07)and they
were here all weekend in the hundreds. Today, they are
coming in by the thousands - trees are full of roosting
butterflies. As in past years, they seem to prefer the
Fruitless Mulberrys, maybe because they are fullest
and dark, or perhaps because they are out of the wind.
If the butterflies keep coming like they have been all day,
this will be one of the best years ever."

Another facinating post on Journey North was Linda S's
post about continued fairly large numbers of migrants in
southern Oklahoma
http://www.learner.org/cgi-bin/jnorth/jn-query-byday?1192634684

So whereas people in the Del Rio - Eagle Pass - Uvalde
region normally don't see subtantial clusters after about
October 24, this year they may continue seeing them
persist into the first week of November.
