Monarchs have been migrating through this nature preserve on the shores of lake erie for more than a month. Today, September 8, 2019 hundreds were roosting at dawn amongst the cottonwoods in the forest just in from the lakeshore. As the sun came through the clouds about an hour after dawn the butterflies began to flash orange and fly, finding many fall flowering asters, sunflowers, ironweed, and goldenrods. We have many photos, many videos, and have enjoyed seeing healthy numbers of these buttterflies migrating during the past several weeks. In addition many monarchs were observed today all along Buffalo's Outer Harbor, but Times Beach Nature Preserve seemed to be the center of the roosting.
