In Cape May Point, NJ on the evening of 10/20/14 the local Project Monarch found a roost in a pine tree along the beach that adjoins the Atlantic Ocean. On the morning of 10/21/14 the tree had several Monarch roosts of anywhere from 30 to more than a hundred Monarchs. It was an awesome sight to see. Mid morning when the clouds cleared and the weather warmed they left for their journey South to Mexico.
