Before 7:22pm sunset at the Tip at Point Pelee National Park. 22�c & sunny with light SW wind @ 6/22kmh.
It was exciting to see this many considering evening numbers have been low. A few times we saw 3 at a time! Most arrived from the north over west shoreline or over west path. A few flew to Tip but returned. A cluster of 7 seen on a Hackberry tree in interior area near their fav Hackberry tree. One seen on a bare tree branch near their fav Hackberry tree. One female faded/torn. And another with piece missing from wing. Others pristine looking.

Smoke seen again from west coast fires & creating amazing sunsets/sunrises.
High today of 26�c. Overnight low forecast 14�c. We've had beautiful sunny warm days & warm nights with light wind. Great to speed up life cycle.
Reports of daytime activity of monarchs at Tip heading out over Lake Erie to continue their journey south.
Goldenrod in various stages. Asters nearing full bloom. And plenty of Woodland Sunflowers.
