Large numbers of monarchs roosting in Goderich close to the lake. Several different sites, largest numbers found at Bingham Park.

They really started accumulating on August 25th. Happens in the same places every year it seems. Lots of available nectar in the nearby gardens. Most tended to roost on the downwind sides of the trees (Southeasterly winds initially, more Southwesterly now). There are still quite a few there now, closer to 100, though not quite as many as the last 2 nights.
Unfortunately, the climate data is down right now for Goderich, it's normally found here: climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/daily_data_e.html?StationID=7747
