Wow! You think Peak migration is pretty much over & here they are putting on an amazing show!! 1800+ Migrating Monarchs this evening at the Tip at Point Pelee National Park.
The day started out cloudy with North wind.. yup they came on in! SE wind this afternoon & bright blue sun shiny sky! High of 26°c. At 6:20pm Monarchs were a-flutter but were establishing their overnight roost sites before sunset.
They chose...of course.....the famous Hackberry Tree near the equally famous Dangerous Current sign and also another Hackberry Tree south of that area. There were small clusters in areas nearby including in a willow tree.
North wind all day tomorrow will allow easy passage crossing Lake Erie continuing their journey south to Mexico.
