4 main areas on the east side & interior of the Tip where Monarchs established roosts.

Clusters in Hackberry branches overhanging east side of Tip.
Another roost, tight & scattered, at top of a Hackberry visible from the shoreline on east side.
About a dozen seen in interior sheltered area visible from west path.
All appeared pristine.
Visitiors were surprised & pleased.
It's not unusual to have this # up to 3rd week of Oct then numbers greatly reduce.
