Hi to all- This is a monarch watcher's paradise! Friday I saw 2 dozen passing through Arcadia Lookout over Lake Michigan over a period of about 45 minutes. For those who are unfamiliar with the geography, Arcadia is the highest natural point on Lake Michigan. It was an amazing sight as each monarch was traveling separately, and it was like an assembly line. Every 1-3 minutes an adult would (somewhat) leisurely pass along the higher points of the lookout with Lake Michigan in the background! They were all flying parallel to the lake, heading south.
