Went to Point Pelee National Part this evening between 6:00 and 7: 30 pm. Two roosts spotted this evening. One had approx 3000 butterflies on the right side of the tree both front & back were packed and dripping with Monarchs. The second roost much smaller in a different tree approx 1500-1800 butterflies. Pic is of the larger roost. What you can not see are the butterflies further to the left if this section of tree and they were all the way to the top & bottom of this side of the tree. Beautiful sight!

Chilly low-mid 60's.the wind was from the north and the monarchs were roosting higher in the trees on the south side of the trees.
