This morning (9/6) I saw about 25 monarchs scattered about in the shelter of the pines and maples. They were beginning to awake and fly around as the sun warmed them. I found one small cluster of 7 that I was able to photograph. The past few days we have seen monarchs flying through and stopping to nectar on the flowers in the garden. This year, we have a large field of blooming clover surrounding our property. Hoping to see more of the butterflies when the wind shifts to the north later this week. Today the wind is light and from the south, the forecast high is 90 degrees.

Editor's note: We've re-dated this report from 9/06 to 9/05, the night the roost formed.
