Cape May Point ~ Monarch Roost

This morning I was over to Cape May Point to view the Monarch roost.  It's not as large as the 25,000 to 30,000 monarchs seen about 2 weeks ago but it was still good.   The monarchs were not expected to fly across the bay because the winds were not favorable for them. My sister, Les came down to visit today.  She's has never seen a monarch roost so decided to spend the night here.  We went over about 5 PM to see how many were settled in the black pine trees.  There were several thousand monarchs and more settling in as it got later and cooler.  We also walked down onto the beach where there were many monarchs nectaring on seaside goldenrod.
