I live in the country outside of city limits. I discovered hundreds of monarchs randomly flying and choosing a roost for the night in my grove of trees (ash, maple, & Black Hills Spruce).

Weather facts for the day:
Sunrise 6:49am
Sunset 8:05pm
Low temp 53
High temp 84;
0 precipitation,
Wind North.

I have never seen so many on the property before. I do have a large flower garden. Could that be the attraction? They remain on the property this morning - randomly flying. They were amiable to my photography efforts.
