11-1:30 pm Afternoon Monarchs at the Tip at Point Pelee National Park. Wanted to see how monarchs fared after the wind storm prior evening. Other than some flitting about on the partial sunny east side the majority were still clustered in same roosts established from evening before.
23°c High 23°c low 12°c
Mostly cloudy Strong West wind 17-29kmh
Most appeared pristine.
9 different roosts; monarchs clustered in Hackberry, Mulberry, Virginia Creeper, Grapevine & bare branches. Same areas as last 4 days.
Observed quite a few nectaring on white or lavender Asters.

About 100 were clustered here & there at Tip Shuttle stop.

Did observe about a dozen individually attempt to fight wind to cross Lake Erie But all returned to trees.

Count by clicker/binoculars
