Number: 49

The town of Harrisville had a three day hazardous beach warning along the Huron Lake shoreline from August 26-28th. The waves have been 2-5 feet high with winds starting out from the southeast turning to the southwest, and then west-southwest 14-17 mph gusting to 25-36 mph. I counted 49 monarchs clinging to many flower species along a one mile walking route I took for those three days. I decided to go to Harrisville State Park today, and found no monarchs expired along a 3/4 mile stretch of beach. Usually, I see 3-8 expired monarchs after such an event since record keeping began in 2010.
