Number: 60

Premigration?? 430-6 pm Mostly sunny beautiful 78° day with very strong winds out of the West observed approx 60 monarchs in small clusters of 6-8 roosting & a few flitting on calm east side of the TIP at Point Pelee National Park.
Mostly males with only 1 positive ID of a female. Some were faded & tattered. None were observed nectaring on nearby goldenrod; minimal amount just coming into bloom. No NE ASTERS yet in bloom.
A cold front came in overnight ending our 90° very humid days.
I had done a check 2 evenings ago in exact same area with no monarchs sighted.
I have released 94 reared monarchs this season with another 170 or so in various stages.
