A friend let us know that there were lots of Monarchs flying around the tip so we headed to Point Pelee. Arrived at tip around 18:40. Sunny, 18C, moderate West wind. Our friend showed us a roost she had been watching grow on a Hackberry tree. It was tricky counting them as there were many clusters interspersed among the branches. This is, sadly, the biggest roost we have seen at Pelee this year. My son and I still hold out hope for more as we know of 6 chrysalids yet to emerge so there must be more Monarchs still to fly in Southwestern Ontario.
