Number: 72

During a ~ 1h walk mid-late afternoon on Leslie Spit, Toronto, I saw 72 Monarch Butterflies.

All of them were looking healthy. Most of them were flying in the SW direction. None of them were nectaring. Likely because there were very few goldenrods and fall asters still in bloom.

I have never in previous years seen so many Monarch Butterflies, so far out on the Leslie Spit man-made peninsula and never previously more than a couple of MBs so late in the season on a warm day.
