Re: [Maine-birds] Monarchs gathering @ Ft Foster

We had hundreds of Monarchs passing through Stratton Island last week...stringing up on the cherries at night and covering the goldenrod by day. At least a couple of Buckeyes also went through along with dragonflies.

Today at noon, 500 ++ Monarchs were gathering at the S end of Kittery's Fort Foster. They appear to be unable/unwilling to cross the Piscataqua due to the strong S/SW winds. Perhaps there will be a large roost there tonight as there has been in the past or with a wind shift they may cross to Newcastle or Odiorne. Most are in the air, seemingly testing the winds - very Disneyesque.
