70 Monarchs Streaming in East Toronto Today

70 monarchs passed through Rosetta McClain Gardens in a constant stream today. Seen by tagger Terry Whittam. Contacting Terry to find out how long he watched this procession. Currently 49 F here. Dropping to 40 F, but afternoon tomorrow to warm up to 60 F, so expect more monarch reports!

Terry reports they were seen from 10 am to 3 pm, and he left at 3 pm. Rosetta McClain Gardens are ornamental gardens high up on the Scarborough Bluffs. Sun must have warmed these monarchs up to flight temperature. Winds were north-westerly later this afternoon. Back to out of the southeast and east for next 3 days.

Terry tagged about 1,600 monarchs at these Gardens this year.
