Observed one small group of monarchs roosting in a young ash tree's branches. There were 60 to 70 monarchs roosting at dusk with a few more straggling in out of the northeast. All of these migrants were roosting together on the same branches and the east side of the tree. This tree was in the midst of many large pines and located adjacent to the same nectar-laden field where my kids had been netting and tagging earlier that weekend. We have had high temps in the 70's and lows at night in the upper 50s.
