Many of the 10,000 roosting monarchs from last night warmed up in the sun this morning, some flying across the Bay, others heading into the gardens at the Point to feed, some flying in the dunes feeding on the goldenrod, and some staying in small roosts on the pines and ivy. More monarchs arrived in Cape May today on the light W winds. Tonight was a warmer night and so the roosting was in smaller clumps scattered throughout the Point, 50 and 100 here, 1,000 there... Another amazing day with these magical critters flitting everywhere you looked!!!
