Today I found 4 Tree clusters with roosts. 2 had about 20 monarchs, 1 had 10, and the last had around 50. winds were from the NE at 9 mph. Sunny skies, temps around 73. Saw 1 or two coming off ocean. Saw very few nectaring. I saw several attempting to crows west across international waterway but I believe the wind was working against them. winds are forecast to come from the east this afternoon so it may make the crossing easier. I think there are still Monarchs coming in from the ocean and resting here. I think they are taking weather opportunites to continue on. What a fabulous find. I saw many nectaring yesterday, but no roosts.
