Monarch Mania!!

After a few days of torrential rain and teaming rain storms the monarchs showed up in substantial numbers.

On a beautiful sunny day with temps in the low 60's with a NE wind @ 10 mph the monarchs showed up . I observed from 1:30 - 6:30 and counted 1380 + monarchs.

Many of the monarchs were tired and chose to rest on the beach sand and cling to the golden rod which is abundant. Roosts were larger than spotted earlier this year. The monarchs appeared healthy and well fed.
