This morning I was up bright and early to head back over to the Point to see the Monarch butterflies as they flew away from their overnight roosts. It's such an awe inspiring sight to behold. I have been lucky enough to see this sight several times before but it never fails to fill my heart with gladness. This AM, Michael O'Brien counted the Monarchs in a series of one minute counts over 1.5 hours as they left the roost and made their way across the Delaware Bay on their way to Mexico. It's the largest migration since 2010 when the estimated about 1 million monarch butterflies roosted and then made their way South. That was my first ever roost.
