Another gorgeous fall day, 21°c/70°f Blue sun shiny sky & light SE wind. Perfect conditions for migrating Monarchs to cross Lake Erie & continue their journey south to Mexico!
At 9:30 am those from last evening (650) were basking in the sun on East side of The Tip at Point Pelee National Park. Around 10:30 am they began leaving to cross the lake. More arriving monarchs were observed through the day flitting south around Cactus Field & the Visitor Center. And were seen arriving at the Tip & flitting south across the lake.
Observed this evening about 70 monarchs on both east beach trees & in the Hackberry Tree near the Dangerous Current sign. 5 seen from west path on interior trees.
Good conditions for migrating Monarchs for the next couple of days.
