I had previously reported a week ago that I did not see many monarchs and had assumed they resumed their migration. Today I was seeing many monarchs flying westward through our neighborhood. I walked down to the beach and saw more coming in from the ocean. I went down to the end of the island and found several areas they were roosting in. Biting flies were abundant so I did not stay long to get a good count but there were at least 100 in the wax and salt myrtle. Picture is of a salt myrtle in bloom. Why are they still coming in and roosting here??
