A cold front & northerly winds brought the monarchs into Point Pelee National Park late in the day after skies cleared mid afternoon. Approx 7:15 pm-7:30 20°c located 3 roosts;2 near Tip- 1 small one of 8 monarchs & a larger roost of about 100-150. Also a roost of about 25 near Tip parking lot. Monarchs continued to arrive after sunset from the north along west path & from the east across water til about 8pm. Difficult to count with poor lighting from Dusk.
At 7:25 am 12°c/54f 15 kmh NE wind Sept 15, 2016 only 2-3 monarchs remained in clusters that had been near Tip. They had been on the west side so did not have sunrise beaming on them but were no where to be found. I'm sure they had already taken advantage of riding the north wind south across the lake. I did at approx 8:10 observe 1 monarch do this. I observed only 2 others flitting about near west path.
