Monarch Adult Sighted

Date: 08/31/2021

Number: 3

The morning started out with a NW Wind at 10 mph, so I went to the beach at Harrisville State Park along the Lake Huron shoreline at 10 AM. At 10:40 AM, I noticed 2 monarchs on the sandy beach resting. At 11:15 AM, a monarch was observed high overhead heading south. At Noon, the Wind turned to the ESE at 15 mph, so I took a one mile walk to 9 locations I monitor, and I saw no monarchs to 1:30 PM under darkening skies. I returned home and saw no monarchs in my yard to 6 PM. The Temperature topped out at 73F. Note: Total for August was 130 as compared to 489 last year. Last year, I had a Peak migration of 146 on August 26th. This year, the Peak was only 36 on August 2nd.
