And.....so it continues. Another roost night at the Tip at Point Pelee National Park & maybe a few more yet with rain, strong southerly winds & cooler temps arriving tomorrow.
It was a wonderful 23°c/74f sun shiny blue sky day visiting with the 350 PLUS migrating monarchs into the evening.

Many visitors enjoyed their presence so easily viewed just a few feet from West path looking into the interior trees of Hackberry, Hop & Willow & also Wild Grapevine.

From 2 pm- 5:30 the count was about 300 with the PLUS arriving from 5:30 pm.-6:30pm

There were a few other good sized clusters but there was no way to get a good clear view to count, due how high up they were in the tree & other trees blocking our view.

A few were observed up until 5 pm venturing out 20-25' from West shoreline to cross the lake but returned due to the strong SE wind. So they remain until favorable weather arrives ......and more may arrive adding to the current number...
