SSE wind 22-33kmh changed to Strong west wind strongest for about 30 mins 39-54 kmh.
Half of the Monarchs were tossed east from their roosts, out over the east shoreline & fought the wind to get back to the trees. They relocated in 13 different roosts settling low on east side & in interior trees in sheltered areas; on Mulberry, Hackberry,
Grapevine & Virginia Creeper.
All appeared pristine.
Upon arrival to park observed a few nectaring on interior Asters.
