Constant stream of monarchs all day along Lake Huron shoreline. Saw 35 in one hour midday.

The wind is out of the northwest. Our house is situated on a canal in a marshy area along the coastline of Lake Huron in Saginaw Bay. All day, the monarchs were flying over the marshy area in the photo, across the canal, and over toward Lake Huron, following essentially the same flight path. No blooming flowers in the vicinity. They were strictly in flying mode, often fairly high, probably riding the wind currents, and weren't dallying around looking for food.

We are still seeing some monarchs today (9/28) but not nearly as many as yesterday (9/27).
