I stepped out for a bird walk at lunch in Wells and immediately changed my plans to a butterfly sit. I counted 90 monarchs passing by in just over an hour, pushing right into the brisk SW breeze. Rarely one would stop.
Birds? Quite a few tree swallows plus a couple of cliffs and a barn, two sharpies, and not much else.

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.Jerry KellyPortsmouth--
