Number: 85

We have never seen a roosting site. This evening my husband came inside and told me to get the camera. We had 85 (yes, we counted them) monarchs roosting in a hedge apple tree at the back of our yard. We were amazed at the beautiful sight. I went out the next night to get more pictures but they were gone. We live in Springfield, MO, a city of 120,000 people. Pretty cool for living in the middle of town!
