Monarchs at sunrise at Seacliff Park, Leamington located about 8 kms north of Point Pelee National Park.
Received word from a friend who checked for me night before that she did see monarchs arriving & establishing roosts. So up & out with big puppy towed along-
Sunrise 7:05 & 20°c. I arrived around 7:10 & many were already flying around.
Partly cloudy with light southerly wind.
As in past years clusters on 10 different trees of oak & maple at north/central end of the park. About 450 in clusters & another 150 flitting about....not yet leaving. Largest clusters of 75 & 94.
Numerous clusters of 20, 25, 30; 4 through 20 plus the larger.
They roosted at 10'-30' up mostly on N-northeast sides of trees.
All looked pristine.

Many more pics & a video here-
