Number: 74

Aug. 23rd 2019 at the Tip at Point Pelee National Park 7:15-8:20 pm.
20°c Mostly Clear with moderate NE wind.
Count of 74.
Most of the way down west path monarchs were observed flitting about and establishing roost spots on tree branches cascading over the path. 2-3 Monarchs in clusters & many lone individuals settled on Hackberry & Hop trees, Grapevine & bare branches.
Quite a few torn/tattered/faded monarchs were observed this evening.
A count of 45 over west path near the Tip; at sunset (8:19) another 10 near Tip parking lot came in from the north; about another 20 over Tip Shuttle stop were seen flitting about under & over treetops.
With the favourable north wind the last couple of days many would also have journeyed south right through the park without stopping.
