Number: 500

With clearing weather finally arriving late yesterday (10/22), Monarchs began to
move at Point Pelee.

This morning at the extreme Tip there were 120 clustered on bushes, which
were yesterday's arrivals. But today (10/23) with even nicer weather the
migration intensified, with Monarchs everywhere all flying south.

In total today I saw about 400-500 individuals, including the original
120 at the Tip.

Likely tomorrow morning there will be a significant concentration at the
Tip, especially since rain is predicted with strong SW winds ---
conditions not suitable for leaving the Tip.
