The average number of monarchs counted at sites throughout Monterey county decreased. The average number of monarchs counted at the Pacific Grove sanctuary was 3429. Skies were clear and temperatures were quite warm during all counts. No clusters were observed at Plaskett Creek. Clusters were also not observed at Point Lobos or Andrew Molera, but warm temperatures and site specifics may have caused clusters to burst before counts began. Counts were conducted early in the morning and many clusters were observed at the private property site in Big Sur.
