Observed numerous small clusters of 3-7-12 on Hackberry branches cascading over west path; the calmer side of the Tip.

Word was through the day that Monarchs were blown from their clusters west by the strong East wind that pierced right through the trees from one side through to the other. The latter was same during evening monitoring.
At 7:15 located a cluster of about 90 Monarchs on the still windy (even though it was a strong east wind) west side of the tall Hackberry tree.
Also observed about a dozen individually arrive from the north on the calm west side closer to the Tip parking lot.
