Last of the Monarchs?

For most of the summer I have seen one, or at most two, monarch butterflies in the yard. I deadhead my buddleia blossoms to keep them coming late into the season. Yesterday, in the late afternoon there were SEVEN monarchs on the bush. Perhaps they were fueling up for their great migration. (Note: This similar photo was taken the day before.)
