Number: 3000

The entire week at Point Pelee National Park from Sept 11th was wonderful with monarchs by day flitting around nectaring on mostly goldenrod & roosts every evening. 2-3 large roosts some evenings and others smaller roosts but Saturday eve SEPT 19, 2015 was just amazingly incredible with 3 large roosts of easily 1,000 each & also a few smaller roosts. The monarchs we clustered tight.. So do many! The wind was to change to North overnight and the monarchs prepared for their journey south across Lake Erie. And they did.... By 8am when sun hit them they were already dispersing with 12c/53f temp.
