21 Monarchs seen today at the Tip at Point Pelee between 11:30am & 1:30pm. They arrived from the north on east & west sides & over the tops of trees. Numerous monarchs attempted to head out south to cross the lake but the SW wind @ 23-32 kmh was too strong & they turned back to the trees.
All that I could see close enough were on good condition.
The park still has asters & Knapweed blossoms. Outside the park at home I still have asters, dandelions, butterfly bush & salvia in bloom. We've had gorgeous weather that will continue for about another 5 days. High of 16�c/62f & full sunshine. Overnight lows around 10c.
1 more day of moderate SW wind that will lighten & even calm wind in forecast for couple days which will allow them to continue their journey south.
