Monarchs on the peninsula at north end of Lavaca Bay Causeway- Port Lavaca to Point Comfort, Calhoun County, TX

after noon on November 2. 2018 ... over three hundred plus (305+) we saw after 12:30 ...temp below 50 dF this morning. Some of these were in clusters on goldenrod in more hidden areas, many were starting to fly by after the cold morning but bright sunshine all morning, plus others that were nectaring on goldenrod, blue mist, seaside daises, and sunflowers. Wind was calm this morning but had been 20+ out of the NW yesterday. Another front coming thru Sunday.

Altus was celebrating her 80th by doing a walk along the shell beach on the west side of the peninsula checking to see what a bunch of monarchs were nectaring on.
