18:45. On our way driving south to Point Pelee National Park to check on roosts my son spotted a roost on Point Pelee Drive. We were not really looking for roosts and this was on the driver's side of the car (east) but it was so large he saw it from the rear passenger seat. I backed up, pulled over and we got out to look. There were approximately 1,000 Monarchs on 2 branches on the leeward side of the gusting easterly wind and rain. The road is on a bluff with farm fields to the east. There are some trees along the bluff and these Monarchs were hunkered down in a smaller tree/bush just out of arm's reach. See separate report for what we found at Point Pelee. Amazing. I hope I get to see them when they fly across Lake Erie off the tip of the Point.
