Editor's Note: Monarchs have roosted at this location in the past.
We are in contact the observer, and if/when a roost appears this fall it will be reported here.

Comments from the observer:

No sign at all, although I do have it marked on my calender. My husband spotted the first Monarch of the season on the exact day you mention from my submission last year.

I saw one Queen a few weeks ago, but haven't spotted any since. I've been checking daily as I absolutely love photographing the Queens, they're much less skittish than the Monarchs! Even the Sulphurs have disappeared, some other butterfly has appeared, not sure what it is.
Small, colorful, common here, but I don't know what it's called. But not in great numbers, I didn't haven't seen many Snouts either... if any. Hard to tell with them sometimes.

On my daily trip to the post office I carefully check the grills of the vehicles parked there (mostly trucks) no sign of Monarchs or Queens on any of them.

I'm so hoping they don't skip us this year!!!! Keeping my batteries charged up with great hope.
