Number: 227

It rained all morning and early afternoon, but I went to the beach at Harrisville State Park when some blue skies shown at 2 pm. That's when I counted 227 monarchs migrating along the Lake Huron shoreline in 3 hours. Then the rain came in again. The temperature was 59F when I started and 61F when I ended the count with a high of 67F in between. The wind was NW at 10-20 mph with high fluffy clouds with some sun. The monarchs flew south at 50 to 200 feet overhead. Here is the hour by hour count:
2-3 pm - 63
3-4 pm - 100
4-5 pm - 64
Total: 227 Last Friday (09/11) - 481
