Number: 60

About 60 Monarchs seen in the afternoon on the warm sunny calm east side of the Tip at Point Pelee. 1:40-2:25pm they were seen coming in from the north sometimes 2 to 3 at a time & basking in the sun on Hackberry, Grapevine & bare branches. Flow slowed at 2:30pm. 5/6 of them flitted out over Lake Erie to try to go south but wind was too strong so returned to trees. A few also flitting about over west path. All appeared in good condition. Observed one with a piece out of hindwing, basking in a blanket of yellow grapevine leaves. Close-up pic in fb post. 11�c full sunshine with SW wind @18-31kmh.
Returned around 5:30pm. Cloudy & 12�c. Could not locate even 1.
