With the Wind NW at 10 mph, I counted 26 monarchs in directional flight at the beach along the Lake Huron shoreline at Harrisville State Park. This was from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM. They were flying 6' to 100' above the ground. I did not observed any monarchs the last 55 minutes of my count as the Wind turned to the NE. Here is the hour by hour count:
11:30 AM to 12:30 PM = 8
12:30 PM to 1:30 PM = 2
1:30 PM to 2:30 PM = 12
2:30 PM to 4:00 PM = 4
Total: 26
The Temperature was 73F.
