Really large cluster/roost

The morning warmup took quite awhile and new arrivals were there before yesterday's crowd wanted to go.

By noon it was a parade of monarchs coming by and over.
The times I went across the causeway I wondered why there wasn't a wreck. There would be what I would estimate to be a hundred monarchs in a space the size of my bedroom enjoying a pillow of air. I've only seen it like this one other time ...

Some really nice clusters/roosts formed just before sundown.
Altus is really good when it comes to spotting a large amount of orange! Not sure why most had their wings open, just did.
Biggest cluster we have ever seen, in the middle of a "round", formed by mostly salt cedar, a couple of mesquite, and a hackberry ... that amphitheatre we always hear that they will find ...

The wind is changing and so may be the fun, may be one more day ...
