When walking out to the roosting area, I only saw a couple of Monarchs coming off the ocean today. At the back of the island I checked all the areas I had seen previous roost. I saw one deformed monarch hanging in a wax myrtle. Saw a few flying around. As I made my way back I found a roost of what I thought was about 15. I walked further back into the salt marsh and could not believe my eyes! Over 100 beautiful monarchs in the salt myrtles!! I got pictures and good video. I was able to share this with some island old timers. They were in awe as I was.
