6:40pm at Wendy Park/Cleveland Metro Park. The weather is mostly sunny, 64 degrees with a brisk north wind. We observed at least 2000 Monarch Butterflies this evening in several different trees and tall bushes! Most were sighted on the Southern side of the tree grove just South of the volley court. Approximately 500 were sighted at the NE end of Wendy Park which is about 100 yards East of the tree grove.

Editor's Note: Consistent reports from Wendy Park by this observer document how dramatically the numbers increased on the 13th after the cold front:

9/08 10 Monarchs
9/11 75 Monarchs
9/13 2,000 Monarchs
