10/17/17 In Hackberry Trees, on Wild Grapevine & in a Sumac Tree, about 244 Monarchs were individual & in clusters on the calmer East side of the Tip at Point Pelee National Park.
A few were observed flitting high over the lake coming in from the east & landing on shoreline trees.
Amazing camouflage in the autumn yellow Hackberry Tree!
5pm-6:40 pm. 16°c/62f Strong SW wind prevented them from crossing the lake today to journey south. Tomorrow with lighter southerly winds provides a couple of opportunities for the migrating Monarchs to cross Lake Erie & continue their journey south to Mexico.
