Hundreds of monarchs have roosted in my two tree belts in the last three days (9/5-8).

I saw the monarchs between 4-7pm. The overnight temps were in the 50F range. There's lots of milkweed and clover nearby.

​I would say total for those days was probably close to around 500 I have two shelter belts and they were both full of butterflies. In 9 years living at our home I have never seen them that thick for that many days.
