Number: 140

This evening at the Tip at Point Pelee National Park about 140 Monarchs were seen; 126 roosting & another dozen or so just flitting about the treetops. After looking at my photos I believe there are even more than 126 roosting.
5:40 -6:30 pm- initially they were basking in the sun at treetops. Closer to 6:30 with sunset near their wings were closed. A few small clusters were seen on East side trees & grapevine; others seen from West path into interior & a few in the Hackberry Tree near the Dangerous Currents sign.
High of 13°c today brrrr- temps dropping tonight to 7°c. Higher temps of around 20°c the rest of the week. And so it continues......... :)
