My favorite video from the 'morning after' the 5400 Monarchs roosting at Point Pelee National Park the evening of Sept 26th 2018.
Between 8 am & 8:30 am we watched about 4,000 Of the 5,400 Monarchs venture out from the west side & journey WSW across Lake Erie. During that time we watched from 7-22 burst out about every 5 seconds from the west side trees. Some left prior to 8 am with most in the sunshine bursting from their clusters right at 7:23 am sunrise. After 8:30 am with a wind change to light southerly their departures slowly trickled out.
Many clusters in the shade were still intact even up til 9:30am when I left the Tip area.
