In mid September we visited Assateague Island National Seashore Refuge to see the horses there. While there we viewed a massive Monarch migration. It was extremely windy and a wonder the Monarchs could even fly much less migrate multiple miles. They would cling to the mustard plants in leeward areas alongside the boardwalk. They were too many to count and we watched and photographed them for a few hours. So emotional to see how they could cling to the swaying branches for pollen replenishment to continue migrating.
