Happy Halloween! Monarchs arrived in mass today in Cape May. It was a sunny 60 degree day with a WNW wind at 10 mph. The monarchs were streaming down the dunes and heading to trees in the sun to roost. Some were seen in gardens feeding on Pineapple Sage, zinnia's, mums and roses. Our road census counted 750 per hour coming through. The roosts we found had approximately; 1,500, 1,000 and 500. We are still out counting as I write this (5pm). It was an amazing day!
