Another windy day after an all morning rain. I tried to count at the beach along the Lake Huron shoreline at Harrisville State Park at 1 PM, but the 40 mph gusts were to high out of the SE. I tried to see if any were nectaring at a couple of fields bordering the park to 2PM, but no monarchs were sighted. I went back home. At 3:45 PM, I happened to look out my front window where I observed a female monarch with wings flat out nectaring on my wife's sedum flowers. She stayed around until 4:05 PM. I decided to watch the backyard from a chair, and at 4:35 PM, I saw a monarch pass through the yard heading SW. Weather was mostly sunny with the Wind SE-18 to 40 mph turning to the SW at 16 mph at 5 PM. The Temperature topped out at 67F.
