[cayugabirds-l] Hangar Theatre osprey platform

We were at Fair Haven Beach State Park on Lake Ontario this week, camping. We estimated there were thousands of Monarchs migrating along the lake shore. We counted an average of 12 monarchs every 10 minutes, and those were only the ones we could see. They were at all elevations including soaring
