Monarch numbers continue to rise


Monarch numbers continue to grow at Cape May Point this morning.  We didn't find any sizable roosts last night, and we can't say if big roosts will form tonight (it's been quite warm at sunset the last few evenings), but we can say that anyone in Cape May Point will see a lot of monarchs this afternoon!  Tomorrow's forecast suggests that many of these monarchs may head to Delaware in the morning, but there could be just as many, or more, arriving from the north.
