We were just leaving our house to go visit another nearby roost, when we noticed several monarchs flying around. We hung back and watched, counting 10, and watching them settle in a maple tree in the front yard. We've been host to migrating monarchs six times in the past, over the last 15 years, but never have they roosted in the trees in the front yard. The wind was out of the east when we noticed them, and our house faces west, so that may be the reason.

Some of them roosted in pairs, then they'd flutter around a little and settle on another branch.

Weather was humid and about 78°F, with winds out of the east at about 5 mph.
